In this on-site interview at Allied Printing Services, a PRINTING United Alliance member, Ashley Roberts sits down with President John Sommers to explore how the 76-year-old, family-owned company is pushing boundaries in commercial print. From adding capacity in digital and large-format segments to becoming one of the country’s top mailers, Sommers shares what’s driving demand — and how Allied is keeping up.

They also discuss Allied’s aggressive energy strategy, including solar panels, fuel cells, and an upcoming microgrid battery system that will help achieve 100% off-grid power by 2026. Whether it’s mail personalization, retail resurgence, or backup power continuity, this episode highlights why Allied is a model for innovation in commercial print.
