ORION Holdings, a unit of Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG), and
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) announced today that they have
launched a strategic partnership enabling ORION Holdings to create
a new unit, ORION Printing (www.orionprintingww.com). ORION
Printing will focus on supplying print management solutions to IPG
companies globally with a mission of leveraging the holding
company’s worldwide print spend to create savings and increased
value for clients. Through ORION Printing, IPG companies will gain
access to a fully managed print service, a global network of
industry leading print solutions, project management and innovative
technologies to deliver enhanced service and quality with cost
effectiveness to clients.
ORION Printing will be run by veteran IPG operations executive
Robert Hoad who will serve as the unit’s Global Managing Director,
reporting to ORION Holdings Worldwide President & CEO Brian
McMahon. ORION Printing will be a fully-owned subsidiary of Orion
Holdings, which is a part of the IPG Mediabrands family of
companies.
“The strategic partnership with Pitney Bowes allows ORION
Printing to deliver a unique value proposition for our sister
agencies across IPG,” said Brian McMahon. “We believe this is yet
another innovative way ORION Holdings can deliver strategic value
for our IPG partners. Clients spend a significant amount of money
on printed marketing materials and we know ORION Printing can drive
significant savings for them. We’re also exceptionally lucky that
an executive with Robert’s depth of experience will be leading this
effort,” concluded McMahon.
“We are very pleased to partner with ORION Holdings to deliver
the highest levels of service, quality and value in print
management for Interpublic Group’s global network of agencies and
clients,” said Vicki O’Meara, EVP and president, Pitney Bowes
Services Solutions. “We enable sustainable cost savings for
customers with end-to-end print management solutions and
services.”
Robert Hoad added, “ORION Printing hits the ground running.
We’ve been engaged by two IPG agencies in the UK and South Africa
to help their clients with significant printing needs and have many
other global markets coming online now with active projects. We
look forward to continuing to help all IPG agencies and their
clients find value and best-in-class service for their print
needs,” Hoad concluded.
