Independence Press — Dedicated to Growth

“One of our greatest challenges today is the turnaround time expected from clients. We’ve expanded our front end in proofing and workstations with the fastest machines on the market to ensure proofs are done as quickly and efficiently as possible,” Marc Adamucci notes.

The company entered direct mail printing in the 1980s. Today, Independence can do a complete package in-house.

“In direct mail printing, we do a lot of credit card solicitation and insurance work. When we started with direct mail, we generally concentrated on sheetfed direct mail and then we realized there was a large opportunity to do that work on a web because it was personalized,” Tony Adamucci says.

Today, the 55-employee operation serves a wide variety of industries—such as advertising agencies, educational institutions, marketing agencies, financial institutions and hospitals—from New England through Virginia.

An environmentally responsible company, Independence switched to vegetable-based inks in the 1990s. The company has always recycled its paper and offers customers high-quality recycled paper alternatives. In addition, it is currently in the process of becoming FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certified.

By creating one-, three- and five-year plans, Independence management has addressed and will continue to address problems they feel the industry faces today, such as faster turnaround and less lead times.

“Everyone needs everything immediately, which is why we have and will continue to make investments to keep up with what clients expect,” Tony Adamucci points out. “Our workflow has improved tremendously.”

“We have never been the type of company to grow rapidly, but very slowly, and I think that’s how we maintain our high quality and customer service levels,” adds Marc Adamucci.

Celebrating 60 years in business, the Adamucci family has shown that a passion for printing runs in the family.

“This is a very exciting time for our company,” Marc Adamucci concludes. “We’ve positioned ourselves to move ahead toward our next 60 years in business.” PI
