It's also reflected in our commitment to growth, our history of innovation and the recognition we've earned along the way.
Our values shape the way we show up every day
At Quad, values are not just something we talk about. They guide how we treat people, how we lead, how we solve challenges and how we grow as a company.

Real people. Real stories.
Culture comes to life through our employees. Their stories reflect what it’s like to grow, belong, and build a career at Quad. Some places shape your résumé. Others shape your life story. For many of us, Quad is the latter.
Catherine's story is one example. From growing up around the company to building a career in HR leadership, her journey reflects how Quad can become more than a workplace — it can become part of your life story.
Recognized for our culture
Quad has been named to Forbes’ 2026 list of Best Employers for Company Culture, marking the second consecutive year the company has earned this recognition. Based on anonymous employee feedback and independent research, the recognition highlights organizations with strong collaboration, open feedback, work-life balance and opportunities to grow.
"Our culture isn’t just something that magically happens. It’s not just abracadabra. It's really the people in the company who create what our culture looks like."
Joel Quadracci, Chairman and CEO
Grounded in our history. Focused on what’s next.
Quad’s story began with a simple but powerful idea: that one person with vision, determination and a willingness to do things differently can build something extraordinary. In 1930, Harry R. “Senior” Quadracci, father of Harry V. Quadracci, started a small printing business in the garage behind his father’s grocery store in Racine, Wisconsin. That first step became the foundation for a company that would grow, evolve and connect tens of thousands of people across generations. We honor that legacy while continuing to move forward, because standing still has never been part of who we are. At Quad, the same power to create something meaningful still lives in every one of us.
Recognized for employee wellbeing
Quad supports employees well beyond the workplace by making retirement planning more accessible, personalized and actionable. In recognition of that work, Quad earned a first-place 2026 Pensions & Investments Eddy Award for pre-retirement preparation and a PSCA Signature Award for excellence in retirement plan communication and education. Through bilingual outreach, one-on-one retirement education and year-round guidance, Quad helps employees take meaningful steps toward their financial goals. The result is a more informed, engaged workforce and a stronger foundation for long-term wellbeing.
