Evergreen Printing Bucks Downturn, Adding New Press and Customers

BELLMAWR, NJ—July 21, 2009—Evergreen Printing is doing what many printers aren\’t: aiming to increase sales this year by 15%, in their case, planning to reach $26 million. It\’s headed in the right direction. This heatset and cold web printer of monthly business publications recently won two big newspaper deals.

Evergreen Printing came under new leadership last September when it was purchased by Carmen Pinto. Soon after taking charge of the 95,000-sq.ft. operation, Pinto established a \”sales-first\” culture.

In February, Evergreen began printing the North American edition of London\’s The Guardian Weekly. The U.K.-based newspaper, ranging in size from 48- to 64-pages, is printed on 22-lb. newsprint on one of Evergreen\’s Manugraph DGM 440 coldset presses. Expanded color capabilities offered by the press were key to the deal, and the newspaper now features every page in four-color.
