TripleArc's clients are set to benefit, as they will now have access to a large range of print management solutions in North America via Standard Register's US operation.

Standard Register clients will also now be able to use a single, "digital depository" to print both on-demand and to order commercial printing in Europe.

"TripleArc technology is well established in the US and is used by Standard Register," said TripleArc's chief executive Jason Cromack (pictured). "The agreement will permit us to widen the scope of the relationship to incorporate print management and corporate communication services."

Both firms are hoping that this reciprocal agreement will enable them to pick up a substantial amount of new work on both sides of the Atlantic.

Standard Register manages documents in the US for healthcare, financial services and manufacturing industries.

"We can each comfortably recommend the other to our existing clients," said Don Feige, vice president of Print Supply Chain Services at Standard Register.
