STAMFORD,CT—When Moore Corp. CEO Mark Angelson picked up the phone in August of 2002 he knew he had a winner. He informed a Wallace Computer Services director at the other end of the phone, "I'm sitting here and looking at a set of numbers I find so compelling that I think we need to talk about this." Talk they did. The resulting conversations led to a $1.3 billion deal that will merge the two companies into Moore-Wallace. "When we arrived at Moore in 2000, it became clear that a combination with Wallace was compelling, given the right circumstances," explains Angelson, who will head the combined company.
