Case Study: Large Electrical Equipment Supplier Company achieves 22% print cost reduction with RR Donnelley

Consolidating Multi-Million Dollar Global Print Spend

Large Electrical Equipment Supplier Company, a global manufacturer selling in 180 countries, needed help consolidating its multi-million-dollar print spend. Operating as seven independent companies with separate marketing departments, purchasing practices, vendor relationships, and tracking systems, the company turned to RR Donnelley to simplify print and fulfillment operations.

RR Donnelley implemented a custom Web2Print fulfillment site, transitioned technical literature to digital print-on-demand, and provided consulting to improve production methods and control costs. The result was $338,000 in first-year savings, a 22% cost reduction, and ongoing annual savings of 3–6% on current projects, along with improved reporting, standard operating procedures, and stronger brand consistency.
