Business overview

Business Overview

Quad/Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: QUAD), operating under the brand name Quad, is a global marketing experience (MX) company that has strategically pivoted from its origins as a high-volume commercial printer to a data-driven, integrated marketing partner. The company's core mission is to remove friction from the marketing journey by integrating creative, media, and production solutions across both physical and digital channels. Quad organizes its offerings into the "MX Solutions Suite," which includes data intelligence, creative agency services, high-end print production, and media management. Geographically, the United States remains the company's primary market, accounting for approximately 92% of consolidated net sales, while its international segment (primarily Latin America) represents the remaining 8%, following the strategic divestiture of its European operations in early 2025.
