TRANSCRIPT

It’s busy season, the most intense time of the year for printers, and Anstadt’s hard-working team is in full swing, with long shifts, constant problem solving and relentless production demands.

For them, it's more than just a time to survive — it’s a chance to thrive. A "can-do" attitude is built into the ethos of this York, PA, USA-based family-owned print business, which dates back to 1878. Today, Anstadt is powered by 300 people willing to tackle any challenge, and it's guided by a leader who embraces strategy, innovation and a winning mindset.

Matt Doran is CEO of The Anstadt Company and chair of Dscoop’s Americas board. He joined Anstadt 23 years ago after marrying into the family business. His early career in the pharmaceutical industry now gives him a fresh perspective on leading Anstadt in new directions.

As you'll see in this interview ...

**Matt is a strategist at heart. **He’s the type of leader who’s not content with the status quo. When he took on greater leadership responsibilities, Matt’s vision was clear: Turn Anstadt from a traditional print company into a forward-thinking, marketing-focused powerhouse. His passion for strategy drives him to ask big questions.

**Matt is a coach by nature. **His leadership style is shaped by his love for sports, especially football. As a former college football player, Matt’s approach mirrors that of a head coach — he’s on the sidelines, making adjustments, calling audibles and rallying his team. He’s a strong advocate for cross-training, internal development and culture-building efforts that keep Anstadt’s workforce engaged and motivated.

**Matt is a community builder. **As chair of the Dscoop Americas board, he’s passionate about giving back to the printing community that’s helped him grow. For Matt, Dscoop’s value is clear: shared knowledge and mutual support. “These are my people,” he’s said of the Dscoop network. He’s committed to creating connections that benefit everyone in the industry.

Enjoy this latest episode of the "Unvarnished" video interview series. Along with Matt's reflections on strategic growth and how his team has built an all-digital print production model, you'll see how to properly do the University of Arkansas Razorbacks' "Pig Sooie" cheer.
