Danner Press Shutting Down

CANTON, OH—More than 350 jobs and over 50 years of printing tradition were scheduled to disappear February 15 with the closing of Danner Press, located here.

Workers were gathered in a warehouse January 22 and told that unless Hess Management, which owns the company, could find a potential buyer, it would close its doors. The lackluster publishing industry and the U.S. economic downturn were cited as reasons behind the move.
