RR Donnelley Closes The Hennegan Co., Once Considered Among Most Premier Printing Companies in America (piworld.com)

One of the iconic names in the printing industry was laid to rest July 27 with the closure of The Hennegan Co., located just outside Cincinnati in Florence, Ky. The shutdown officially marked the end of the award-winning, marquee printing operation that traced its roots all the way back to 1886, and to the revered Hennegan family name in printing that went along with it.

Hennegan’s 210,000-sq.-ft. facility, built in 1996, housed six-, eight-, and 12-color sheetfed offset presses; full-size, six- and eight-unit web offset presses; HP and Xerox digital presses; and complete binding, mailing, fulfillment, and warehousing capabilities.

This latest closure delivers another blow to the greater Cincinnati area, following the shuttering this month of Arandell Corp.’s Walton, Ky., printing facility, which impacted more than 100 workers. That closure by the Menomonee Falls, Wis.-based catalog printing powerhouse Arandell was blamed to the drop in business resulting from COVID-19.
