Quad/Graphics, post merger with World Color, announced that it will close a number of printing plants as part of its ongoing integration plans. The company expects operations to cease at the following plants by the end of 2010: Clarksville, Tenn.; Corinth, Miss.; Lebanon, Ohio; Reno, Nev.; and Dyersburg, Tenn.
As two of those plants are located in my home state of Tennessee, and I have personally printed at three of those plants, I can say that a lot of good folks will be losing their jobs, and I trust that the new Quad organization will try to relocate as many as possible.
