Just ask HBP, a 110-year-old printing, graphics and communications business based in Hagerstown, MD. Nearly three years ago, HBP acquired Balmar, a printer with two locations. One facility did similar work to HBP and was merged into HBP's Hagerstown operations, boosting revenues and production efficiencies. The other had different core competencies and a complementary northern Virginia location. (Today it remains a standalone, highly productive manufacturing facility.)
