Cenveo Welcomes Burton Into Fold

ENGLEWOOD, CO—Robert Burton, the swashbuckling printing executive with a thirst for rebuilding challenges—touting a resume that includes the pre-sale sprucing up of Moore Corp. and World Color—and a reputation of cost and headcount reductions to meet that end, is back in the industry with Cenveo.

The former Mail-Well and its board of directors, sensing a pending loss in the September 14 scheduled proxy battle, reached an agreement with Burton Capital Management (BCM) and Toronto hedge fund Goodwood on September 9 that averted the shareholder contest. As part of the deal, Burton is the company's new chairman and CEO.
