Cunningham Expands Global Reach With Alliance Into Japan and Australia.

JERSEY CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 1999--

Cunningham Graphics International (NASDAQ NM:CGII), today announced the formation of an Asia/Pacific strategic alliance with leading printers in Australia and Japan, further expanding the capabilities of the Company's World Research Link(TM) operations in the region.

Members of the new alliance are Current Knowledge, with production sites in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia and MAKE, based in Tokyo, Japan. Both are major providers of document management services and other graphic corporate services to many global corporations. Through the strategic alliance, Cunningham Graphics International significantly widens its presence in the Asia/Pacific region.

Evan Lam, Managing Director of Cunningham Graphics International's Asian operations, will oversee the Asia/Pacific strategic alliance. Under his stewardship, the alliance is expected to generate significant cross-selling activity among all of the participating companies.

Michael R. Cunningham, Chairman and CEO of Cunningham Graphics International pointed out the importance of the new strategic alliance. "In Current Knowledge and MAKE, we now have access to two immense markets that are vital in our strategic plan for worldwide growth. As our organizations work together and bond more closely in the months ahead, we believe that our associations with those companies can go beyond an alliance relationship."

"For our customers throughout the world," he added, "the alliance provides a link to two outstanding firms with advanced technology that fits seamlessly into our World Research Link network. We're looking forward to a long and mutually productive association with these two fine companies."

Through the use of high-speed electronic links among the Company's facilities in North America, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and now strategic alliance partners in Australia and Japan, the Company is able to print complex documents concurrently through these five principal international markets while eliminating certain distribution costs.
