"RR Donnelley is the largest shipper of mail into the United States Postal Service, delivering approximately fifty percent of all U.S. standard mail into the postal stream," said Dan Scapin, President RR Donnelley Logistics and Distribution. "Our expansive consolidation network, expertise, and scale allow us to offer to our customers proven services that help them to achieve postal savings and cycle time reductions. This new facility positions RR Donnelley better to serve direct response marketers, magazine publishers, catalogers, and other mailers in the Southwest."
