With overall growth nearing 20% in the past 12 months, Specialty Print Communications (SPC) saw consistent increases across every division, including traditional commercial work, according to company president Adam LeFebvre.

“Traditional litho growth, inkjet growth, lettershop services, and fulfillment all grew at a steady pace,” LeFebvre notes. “I believe our continued commitment to customers, innovation, and dedication to providing exceptional service allows us to succeed where some others are not. It also helps that we are firmly committed to continuing to invest in our equipment and our people.”

LeFebvre adds that when he thinks about the year ahead, “the daily pulse I feel is not as robust and exciting as last year.”

However, he doesn’t see the growth stopping, but rather, just slowing down a bit as the company heads into next year.

“I think the top-line sales growth will be there when the calendar turns to 2027,” he says. “Ryan LeFebvre and Rob Jozefowicz lead our sales team, and quite frankly, I can’t thank them and praise them enough. They are relentless in pursuing solutions for clients, they are driven to win every day, and they provide that culture to the entire sales team below them.”

The people get the praise, but the company also makes room in the budget for equipment, ensuring those people have the tools to meet customer needs.

“We will continue to invest $6 million to $12 million annually,” LeFebvre says. “We will have additional equipment in the lettershop, finishing, more digital/inkjet printing and digital finishing [investments in the next 12 months]. Details on what will be in service first … not sure yet. What is certain is that we will continue to invest in what we believe is the most cost-effective equipment that produces the quality we need.”

The Canon Colorado and Arizona wide-format printers were among the most recent installations at SPC.

As he thinks about the future and how to keep the business growing in the years to come, LeFebvre is more focused on verticals and how to serve them.
