Quad Graphics

Quad Graphics

We’re innovative people redefining print. Quad/Graphics has been a breakaway company since Day One. The late Harry V. Quadracci founded the company in 1971 with the belief that doing things differently – and better – could propel a tiny upstart into an industry-leading printer. Today, Quad/Graphics is a leading global provider of print and multichannel solutions for consumer magazines, special interest publications, catalogs, retail inserts/circulars, direct mail, books, directories, and commercial and specialty products with 50-plus print-production facilities on three continents. Our employees are encouraged to think and act like owners and innovate solutions that push print’s boundaries to strengthen its value to clients. As a printing industry innovator, we are committed to redefining the power of print in a multimedia world. We’ve ramped up the aggressiveness of ink on paper by strategically applying data to create targeted, relevant print messages and then connect those messages with other forms of digital, mobile, electronic and online media. This way, marketers and publishers can get the right message to the right person at the right time to maximize response and revenues. http://www.qg.com/...
