Donnelley Signs Multi-Million Dollar Pact with African-American Printing Firm by staff writer Chicago Standard Newspapers Originally posted 2/16/2002 In forging a major business partnership with an African-American owned printing company, R.R. Donnelley hopes to stimulate other such business relationships between corporate America and small business that is mutually beneficial for both parties. R.R. Donnelley, one of the largest printers in the world, recently signed a multi-million dollar agreement with All Printing & Graphics Inc., which is headed by Hoyett Owens, the president and CEO. All Printing is located in Broadview, a west suburb of Chicago. To preview the partnership as a model of the kind of strategic supplier diversity that major corporations should consider to boost economic development of small and minority-owned businesses, R.R. Donnelley will host a special reception this month at its corporate headquarters in downtown Chicago. William L. Davis, chairman, president and CEO of E.E. Donnelley, believes that the company’s business partnership with All Printing can serve as a powerful model to other major corporations to establish similar relationships with small, woman-owned and business of color that can lead to economic growth and vitality for both entities. “The key to creating jobs is partnering with small and minority-owned businesses to help them become valuable suppliers to large corporate customers,” said Davis. “As these companies become more adept at joining our corporate supply chains, we are opening the doors to new sales not only for them but also for corporate America.
