“This merger marks an important milestone in the evolution of both companies,” Curt Carpenter, new CEO of Convergent Print Group, is quoted in the press release. “Our two companies were friendly competitors for decades. As the industry and technology changed, we began to work together more closely, leveraging the strengths we both brought to the relationship. Be it through geography, capacity or capabilities that one or the other of us had, we have been able to support each other to meet our customers’ needs.”
