There are several "Most Valuable Print-
ers", of course. Most companies in the
Top 10 had single- and double-digit per-
centage increases in year-over-year sales.
Topping the QP list of top printers again
this year was CPS Gumpert, rebranded
as Ironmark, with 2013 sales of nearly
$20 million. A new name came in at
#2: Detroit-based Wolverine Solutions
Group (WSG), a versatile print provider
founded in 1978 with sales last year
approaching $19 million – a 16 percent
leap over its 2012 revenues, reports
owner Jeff Ostenso. Nipping at WSG's
heels, with $18 million in sales, is Con-
nolly Printing of Woburn, MA, up eight
percent over last year.

n sports, one point is the difference between winning and losing.
In the quick and small commercial printing arena, sales at shops
reporting only showed 1.53 percent growth over last year—but
it was more than enough to put them on top. Combined sales
of 2014's Top 100 small commercial printers ended with $539
million compared to 2013's $530 million.
