Wisconsin Printers — Serious ’Bout Their Printing

One advantage printers enjoy here is the recognition by the state government of the industry’s importance to Wisconsin’s economy. Joel Quadracci, president and CEO of Quad/Graphics, sees a strong public-private partnership between the printers and Gov. Jim Doyle. The printer has invested more than $300 million in equipment and a new plant in Wisconsin in the past three years. In turn, the state provided Quad with up to $3 million in tax credits for creating as many as 750 jobs related to investments made since 2004.
