PR Newswire (US)
RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cadmus
Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:CDMS) announced today that it
will expand its current print production services provided to
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) to
include ASBMB Today, the Society's monthly, 32- page full-color
magazine for its members. The full range of production services to
be performed at Cadmus' Columbia and Easton, Maryland facilities
include copyediting, composition and printing. The journal
production services that Cadmus currently provides for The Journal
of Biological Chemistry (JBC) and Molecular and Cellular Proteomics
(MCP) will be supplemented by XML conversion services for JBC under
a separate contract. ASBMB, a leader in the biochemistry and
molecular biology community, was an early adopter of Cadmus
ArticleWorks(TM), a comprehensive content delivery and digital
rights management system that permits publishers and content
providers to market, sell and deliver content-on-demand from their
Web site in both electronic and print formats. ASBMB indicated that
Cadmus has repeatedly demonstrated profound market knowledge and
best practices for working with the Society throughout their
long-standing relationship. Barbara Gordon, executive director at
ASBMB commented that, "Our 100-plus year relationship with Cadmus
creates a strong business foundation for expanding the partnership
we have developed together. Cadmus assisted with the redesign of
both JBC and ASBMB Today which creates a more compelling and
consistent publication for our members. Their quality of work,
personalized customer service and customized workflows are
important factors in producing publications that help strengthen
relationships with members and attract new ones." Nancy Rodnan,
director of publications at ASBMB added, "Cadmus' streamlined
approach to the production process allows us to work with a single
service provider for ASBMB Today whereas we were previously
monitoring and juggling tasks between two vendors. The end-to-end
services furnished by Cadmus automate the production process in a
single, highly customized workflow that eases the workload on our
end." Cadmus recently made a $50 million capital investment in
state-of-the-art printing and finishing equipment to support the
changing needs of their customers. Bruce Thomas, president and
chief executive officer with Cadmus remarked, "This major
investment in new equipment positioned us to expand our production
capacity, to support a wider range of publications and print runs,
and to deliver on our strategy of being a leading provider of full
service solutions for professional publishers. We're excited that
ASBMB continues to entrust their production needs to Cadmus." ABOUT
