TOPPAN PRINTING AMERICA -- Hitting with Power

"Our production is almost double and, as a result, our time to deliver is cut almost in half. That's a unique characteristic for Toppan in the New York marketplace."

It is a distinct advantage in a marketplace that is both large and lucrative. And while Toppan America registers sales figures of $35 million in each of the book and commercial printing/publications divisions, it also has the backing of the world's second-largest commercial printing concern. Toppan Printing Ltd., of Tokyo, has annual worldwide sales of $10 billion to $12 billion, derived from its seven divisions which produce products and services that range the full gamut of the communications industry—commercial, publication, book, package and specialty printing, as well as electronics and multimedia. The printing and publishing group, which includes Toppan America, generates roughly $3 billion of that total.
