About Us

Lufkin Strategic Procurement was established in 1996 with a mission: to provide publishers and printers with the best business strategies for purchasing paper and printing. Unlike paper brokers, who are paid by the various supply firms, we work solely in your interest.

Proven Value

Clients who have implemented our purchasing strategies are saving over $15 million a year. But we provide more than just cost savings—our strategic procurement consulting practice is designed to to help our clients grow and maintain mutually beneficial, long-term partnerships with their paper and print suppliers.

In addition to our Paper Purchasing Strategy service, Lufkin Strategic also consults with many clients on Print Contract Issues. And, because of the extent of our consulting practice in the paper and print purchasing industry, we also offer a unique service, Paper Pricing Benchmarks, where we track a client's paper costs against actual prices paid by comparable companies.
