Year for Broken Records

In addition to the established players, there were the newcomers to the game.

In Westport, CT, Terry Tevis, formerly an executive at R.R. Donnelley & Sons, was named to head Printing Arts America (PAA), a new industry consolidator being formed by merchant banking firm Kohlberg and Co.

To create the company, Kohlberg acquired four regional commercial printing companies: Classic Printing and American Corporate Literature, both in the Nashville area; S&S Graphics in the Washington/Baltimore area; and Printing Arts/LithoTech, near Chicago.
