Standard Register Streamlines Organization With Departure of Four Officers

DAYTON, Ohio (June 30, 2004) -- Standard Register (NYSE: SR), a leading provider of information solutions, announced the departure of four officers, effective immediately.  Peter Dorsman has resigned his position as chief operating officer, and that position has been eliminated.  Dennis Rediker, president and chief executive officer has assumed direct operating responsibility for the company.  Additionally, the following positions have been eliminated and the incumbents have left the company:  president Document and Label Solutions, president Fulfillment Services and vice president Corporate Communications.

“The company has improved the trend in revenue during recent quarters, but the pace of overall operational improvement has not been satisfactory,” said Rediker.  “A flatter, more efficient management structure will help our execution as we focus on delivering the products and services valued by our customers.”
