Mercury Print & Mail acquires NEP&G
109-year-old New England Printing & Graphics name retained
Mercury Print & Mail has acquired New England Printing & Graphics Inc., a 109-year-old commercial sheetfed printing company in Lincoln, R.I.

Once complete, Mercury Print & Mail will quadruple its printing capabilities, transforming it into one of the largest printing and mailing companies in the Northeast.

The printing division of Mercury Print & Mail will be known as New England Printing & Graphics to preserve the company’s name.

New England Printing & Graphics has received numerous awards from the Providence Graphic Arts Association and Printing Industries of America over the years.

The company was founded in 1895 in Woonsocket. After more than 100 years at that site, New England Printing & Graphics was moved to Lincoln. Peter Previdi purchased the company in 1975. He will remain with the combined organization and serve as president of New England Printing & Graphics and vice president of Mercury Print & Mail. Employment offers have been extended to the majority of New England Printing & Graphics’ 32 employees to join the new organization that is headquartered in Pawtucket.

“With the recent economic downturn, printing companies have faced many challenges,” Previdi said. “By joining with Mercury Print & Mail, however, we’re complementing the existing services and technology that we can offer and ensuring greater business longevity for the combined organization.”

“Customer service is our competitive difference,” said Steve Cronin Mercury Print & Mail’s president and CEO. “With the decades of experience and technology that New England Printing & Graphics has to offer, we’ve added value for our clients because we’ve become a one-stop shop for all printing and mailing needs.”

Mercury Print & Mail has offices in Pawtucket, R.I., and Attleboro, Mass. Founded in 1956, the company provides high-quality printed materials, guiding them through complex postal regulations and delivering them to targeted customers in a cost-effective manner.
