Southeastern Shines In Uncertain Times –Michelson

Case in point is our cover story on Southeastern. At just 42 years old, Southeastern CEO Don Mader possesses a vision, charisma and M&A deal-making intuition far beyond his age. With 230 employees working out of five locations, Southeastern is on track to achieve $60 million in sales this year, up from $47 million in 2012. Yes, much of this recent sales growth resulted from opportunistic acquisitions of a rollfed beverage label manufacturing operation and SCP Graphics, a commercial printing specialist. It's also come organically with the opening of a fine arts gallery coupled with a creative wide-format digital printing studio.
