LED UV Inkjet Press Makes Printer More Competitive, Grows Book, Catalog, and Magazine Business

Johnson & Quin is expanding its capacity to produce full color personalized direct mail packages by adding additional color printing, folding, and inserting equipment at its facility in Niles, Ill., north of Chicago. Johnson & Quin’s clients are seeing increased response when mailing packages with more personalization in color and, as a result, are mailing increased volumes. Based on this higher demand, the company is adding MBO High-Speed Folding Systems, Pitney Bowes Mailstream Direct Ultra-High-Speed Inserters and MCS Condor Color Inkjet Envelope Printers. “With over 40 years of direct mail production experience, Johnson & Quin continues to implement new technology and increase capacity to provide clients with high quality direct mail production to make their marketing programs successful,” said Andrew Henkel, Vice President & Principal at Johnson & Quin. “The addition of this new equipment in combination with high-speed color inkjet presses allow us to produce high volume direct mail programs with full color personalization in quick time frames.”

Net sales in the first quarter were $1.31 billion, up $138.8 million or 11.8% from the first quarter of 2021. While first quarter net sales decreased nearly $3 million due to changes in foreign exchange, the majority of the increase relates to higher client demand for most of the Company’s products and services, and price increases to partially offset inflationary cost increases. The Company experienced significant growth in Supply Chain Management, Commercial Print and Labels products. Organic net sales increased 12.0%. Loss from operations was $25.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to income from operations of $25.1 million in the first quarter of 2021. The first quarter of 2022 included $64 million of expenses related to the merger, and net restructuring, impairment and other charges of $18.9 million which increased $13.1 million from the prior year period. Net loss from continuing operations of $58.4 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $1.7 reported in the first quarter of 2021. The 2022 net loss from continuing operations reflects the increased loss from operations, higher income taxes and loss on debt extinguishment, slightly offset by lower interest expense.
