TOPPAN PRINTING AMERICA -- Hitting with Power

"Despite the bleak Japanese economy, the U.S. recession and the September 11 tragedy, we have continued to be profitable," states DeLarso. "Toppan evolved in 2001 by offering new services, including digital proofing, electronic file transfer, fulfillment and mailing services."

Other highlights last year include winning the Pantone Hexachrome award for the first book—"Pantone's Guide to Communicating with Color"—printed entirely in six-color process. The company launched a comprehensive Website, www.ta.toppan.com, and also garnered ISO 9002 certification for quality control.
