Sandy Alexander--Appetite for Construction

The benefits to RenderView are numerous, according to Grossman. In some cases, a round of hard proofing can be eliminated. Reduced production cycle times and prepress cost savings are a result.

These investments have helped to underscore the ultimate objective: to offer the resourcefulness of a large printer and the personal touch of a small operation. In the process, Sandy Alexander plans on growth, both physical (a 40,000-square-foot expansion is being added to its Clifton building) and economic, through strategic acquisition. Grossman notes that the company's five-year plan calls for Sandy Alexander to triple in size, partly through M&A activity. The types of companies considered would likely include an East Coast sheetfed business without web capacity or a "tangentially related" business such as a packaging company.
