In 2018, LSC announced the sale of all of its European printing operations——to the Walstead Group.
Failed buyout※
In November 2018, Quad/Graphics announced their intent——to purchase LSC in an all-stock deal.

On June 20, 2019, the Department of Justice issued a press release indicating that it would sue to block the proposed purchase of LSC Communications by Quad Graphics. One month later, the companies announced they would discontinue the deal rather than fight the lawsuit.
