Bowne

Founded in 1775 by Robert Bowne, Bowne & Co., Inc. was one of America's oldest public companies. It established itself as a premier provider of mission-critical services to support companies through all stages of the business lifecycle. Its core operations included financial printing (such as prospectuses for IPOs and annual reports), EDGAR and other regulatory filings, secure data management, and marketing communications. For over two centuries, Bowne was a trusted partner for corporations, law firms, and investment banks requiring precision, security, and reliability in their communications. In 2010, the company was acquired by RR Donnelley for approximately $491 million and its operations were integrated into RR Donnelley's Financial Services group, marking the end of its long history as an independent entity.
