Cincinnati PR

One year ago today, Springdot of Cincinnati – http://www.SpringDot.com – acquired Litho Print Inc. of Dayton, closing out its second consecutive year with an acquisition.

Owned by the Deutsch family of Cincinnati, SpringDot is one of the oldest family-owned printing companies in the United States, opening its doors in Downtown Cincinnati in 1904.

The Dayton deal with Litho Print was dutifully covered in The Cincinnati Business Courier

(http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2009/12/21/story9.html); one week later, it appeared in the Business Courier’s sister paper in Dayton, The Dayton Business Journal.

“I was looking to sell a business and keep a lifelong friendship. Neither was more important than the other,” Darrell Templeton, owner of Litho Print, said at the time.

“I have succeeded at both, and the Dayton market will now have the opportunity to work with a new Litho Print, a larger and more robust Litho Print, in the form of SpringDot, with greatly enhanced capabilities, particularly in the digital and distribution arenas.”

The deal was expected to kick in at least $1 million to the SpringDot bottom line, and pave the way for the Cincinnati printer to launch its first Satellite Office expansion since Sydney Deutsch, great-grandfather of CEO and President Josh Deutsch, opened SpringDot’s doors.

“Litho Print has always had some very large, very impressive customer accounts. We look at this as an incredible opportunity for us to continue to grow, to keep adding to our customer base, and to showcase for the Dayton market what we’ve been doing for the last century-plus in Greater Cincinnati,” Deutsch said.
