Quad/Graphics Inc. will close three more commercial printing plants — none of which are in Wisconsin — idling 650 employees. The Sussex-based company on Thursday cited “volume declines” for closing the plants in Oklahoma City; Nashville, Tennessee; and Fernley, Nevada. The company attributed the decreased volumes in part to “an already challenging retail environment” that has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
