Year in Review--A Torrent of M&A

Englewood, CO-based Mail-Well had a few acquisitions to add to its list this year, including Houston-based Hill Graphics (also known as Champagne Fine Printing); Colorhouse Inc., a prepress company in the Minneapolis area; Sidney, OH-based Direct Graphics; and Enterprise Press of New York City.

The newest kid on the roll-up block in 1999 was San Francisco-based Kelmscott Communications LLC, which acquired Watermark Press in San Francisco; Printing Control in Seattle; Commercial Printing/CDS in Medford, OR; and Kansas City, KS-based Spangler Printers.
