FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF THE
GEORGES & SHAPIRO LITHOGRAPH, INC. ACQUISITION
HOUSTON, TEXAS - August 15, 1997 - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:CGX)
today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of
Georges & Shapiro Lithograph, Inc. in Sacramento, California. Terms of the
transaction were not disclosed.
This transaction complements Consolidated Graphics' existing operations in
Northern California and provides the Company with an increased share of this
important printing market. Georges & Shapiro Lithograph, an award-winning, full
service commercial printer, serves the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay area
including Napa and Sonoma Valleys and the Silicon Valley. The company will
continue to be led by its existing management team, including Ed Georges and
Joel Shapiro.
The completion of the Georges & Shapiro transaction follows closely the
Company's recently completed acquisition of The Etheridge Company in Grand
Rapids, Michigan. These companies, together with the three additional pending
acquisitions in Atlanta, Georgia, Greensboro, North Carolina and Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania will give Consolidated Graphics 24 printing companies in 19 markets
with annualized revenues exceeding $240 million.
Consolidated Graphics, Inc. is recognized as the fastest growing printing
company in the United States. A consolidator in a highly fragmented industry,
the Company adds value to its acquisitions through managerial and operational
expertise, financial strength and economies of scale.
