Quad/Graphics lands contract to print Hearst Magazines
Published March 31, 2010 - BizTimes Daily
Under terms of a new five-year, multi-million-dollar agreement, Sussex-based Quad/Graphics Inc. will become Hearst Magazines’ largest print supplier, starting in January 2011.
Quad/Graphics will print five of Hearst Magazines’ leading consumer magazine titles: “Good Housekeeping,” “O, The Oprah Magazine,” “Harper’s Bazaar,” “House Beautiful” and “Veranda.” The magazines will be produced on Quad/Graphics’ state-of-the-art presses at its Sussex and Lomira plants.
“Hearst awarded the new printing contract to Quad/Graphics based in large part on the work our Lomira plant has done for ‘Veranda,’” said Joel Quadracci, Quad/Graphics chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We have proved that our people and platform can meet or exceed Hearst’s quality and customer service expectations, and we are excited about expanding our business relationship with Hearst.”
That relationship goes well beyond simply putting ink on paper. Quad/Graphics’ industry-leading co-mail program, which provides significant postal savings, and the printer’s advanced workflow management solutions, also play key roles.
“Quad and Hearst are two companies with a lot in common - a commitment to excellence, a strong culture of innovation, and a keen focus on the latest developments in print, bind, distribution and content management technologies,” said Laura Reid, vice president of production for Hearst Magazines. “We are looking forward to continuing to grow a strong partnership with Quad Graphics.”
