Donnelley-Astron deal completes
US-based print giant RR Donnelleys 520m acquisition of Astron completed on 21 June. The worlds largest printer won the race to buy the UK-based document process outsourcer in the spring (PrintWeek, 21 April). Astron chief executive David Mitchell (pictured right with Donnelley chief executive Mark Angelson) said the fit between the two groups was a good one.
"I believe that like us, RR Donnelley's people are results-focused. They love to do the right thing, to get things done, to make things happen." The Huntingdon-based group will now trade under the brand "Astron an RR Donnelley company".
