Global presence

Latin America

Our Pan-American Strategy

Latin America encompasses some of the most rapidly evolving economies in the world and presents special opportunities for Worldcolor's growth strategies. Business and political leaders throughout the Western Hemisphere have touted the exciting potential for growth that will be available with the establishment of the "platform of the Americas."

A key to Worldcolor's vision for investment in the region is the exponential investment in infrastructure programs and education being made by the countries throughout the area. Already, we are a leading printer of school books and telephone directories in Latin America. We are also growing rapidly in the magazine, catalog and retail insert market segments.

The Region’s Number One Printer

Our strategy is to partner with leading publishers, acquiring and consolidating assets where publishers decide to divest and building a mutually supportive network of plants to facilitate a full range of services for all of our major product lines. This has enabled the growth that has helped us become the region's number one printer.

Our Latin American Alternative

Our Latin American book platform serves Latin American and international publishers selling into the local market. This platform is also a cost-effective alternative for North American publishers who are shifting work to Asia.

By using our Latin American alternative, publishers can continue to:

Deal with their current sales representative
Communicate with English-speaking customer service representatives
Communicate in the same or similar time zone
Profit from New York-based pricing and technical support
Profit from digital linkage of U.S. and Latin American manufacturing facilities

All publishers can be assured of receiving the same top quality and service that Worldcolor delivers to all its customers worldwide.

An Alternative for European Publishers

Although the distances are greater, our Latin American facilities are a cost-effective option for European publishers as well. We can successfully compete for non-time-sensitive work despite the additional shipping costs.
