Walsworth Publishing Acquires IPC Print Services

According to a story in the Omaha World-Herald, Walsworth revealed that the increase in production capacity from the IPC acquisition means its printing facility in Omaha, NE, will be shut down over the course of the next few months. That plant reportedly is subject to size restrictions that hindered expansion. It has a staff of 83, some of whom could chose to relocate to other Walsworth facilities, the paper said.

The purchase of IPC provides Walsworth customers with a broad set of sheetfed, web, binding, fulfillment and distribution options. Walsworth will reportedly be able to complete all aspects of a print job under one roof, reduce cycle time for print production and provide customers with cost savings. The acquisition of IPC will enable it to better serve customers in the specialty book, short-run publications and business-to-business catalog markets.
