Commercial Printing Industry : Year in Review

Stamford, CT-based Cenveo decided to close down plants in Baltimore; Charlottesville, VA; and Omaha, NE. About 300 employees were let go in the process.

While not on a par with the Quad-Worldcolor combination, a couple of other deals shook the M&A landscape in the early part of 2010. RR Donnelley, of Chicago, agreed to terms with Bowne & Co., New York, in an all-cash deal at an estimated $481 million. But, as the year came to an end, the parties were still awaiting Hart-Scott-Rodino approval from the Federal Trade Commission.
