Merrill led the industry when it computerized its operations and began building a nationwide network of typesetting and printing facilities to provide faster, more responsive service. Leading this national strategy was John Castro, who joined Merrill in 1978 and currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer. Between 1982 and 1985, the company opened offices throughout the country. In 1986, the company went public. In 1999, the company was taken private again.

In the late ‘80s, Merrill began to diversify its services, which helped the company weather the 1987 stock-market crash that threatened the financial services industry. In 1986, Merrill established a Document Reproduction Group to offer litigation copying. In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Merrill continued to open new offices and acquire regional printers to strengthen its national network. Merrill also established relationships with financial printers in London, Tokyo, Melbourne, Toronto and Montreal to create a global network of service.
