- Alco_Gravure abstract "Alco Gravure was originally the printing division of Crowll Collier, which published This Week Magazine. Sometime in the 1960s, the magazine folded, and McMillan, Inc. purchased the company, calling it Crowell Collier Macmillan, and later Macmillan Publishing. Alco had five plants: Hoboken, New Jersey; Glen Burnie, Baltimore, Maryland; Whitehaven, Memphis, Tennessee; Chicago, Illinois; and 11041 Vanowen Street, North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Their business was split between two markets, Sunday magazines for major newspapers and mail pieces and newspaper inserts for major retailers. Customers included Sears, Walgreens, Montgomery Wards, W.T. Grant, Macy's, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Star, Philadelphia Bulletin and Los Angeles Times. It operated as a commercial gravure printer under Macmillan's ownership until 1981.Unfortunately, Macmillan used the company for its cash flow, and did not fund needed upgrades as technology changed the way the industry operated. There were also high operating costs due to strong union presence. In 1981, Macmillan put the company on the market, and it was purchased by the Alco management. They operated the company as an esop until 1987, when they sold it to Maxwell Communications Corporation. Maxwell Communications held ownership until Robert Maxwell's death in 1991. Alco was last purchased by World Color, now Quebecor. The only facility remaining is the Memphis location.Alco's antiquated reproduction process used an acid resist etching film made by DuPont. RR Donnelley utilized a HelioKlischograph which produces more predictable results than the acid etch process. Alco lost the NYT Magazine contract to Donnelley. Donnelley's workers were non union.".
