Brook & Whittle, a Guilford, Connecticut-based provider of label printing solutions, has acquired FlexoOne and InStockLabels.com of Salt Lake City.
Founded in 2006, FlexoOne provides flexographic and digitally printed labels with a customer base across the USA and internationally. In 2011, FlexoOne launched InStockLabels.com, with stock labels for retail, apparel, warehouse, school, craft, medical and manufacturing industries. With over 4,000 stocked label products, InStockLabels.com carries one of the largest product portfolios in the industry, the company said in a release.
“The acquisition enhances Brook & Whittle’s leadership position in e-commerce and strengthens our platform and service in the Mountain West,” the company said.
“We are delighted to be joining forces with the FlexoOne team,” said Brook & Whittle CEO Mark Pollard. “The exceptional lead times offered by both FlexoOne and InStockLabels.com, with the capability to print digital or flexo, give us a great launchpad to continue to grow the business and expand the product range.”
“This complementary acquisition expands our e-commerce footprint to areas of the market where we do not currently participate and I am thrilled to enhance our e-commerce leadership team with the addition of some exceptional and proven industry veterans,” sais Bill Wood, executive vice president of Sprink, the company’s e-commerce business unit.
“When considering this acquisition, we realized that the benefits of scale both in cross-channel selling and manufacturing made this a great decision,” said Matt Sherry and Scott Opfar, co-founders of FlexoOne and InStockLabels.com in a prepared statement. “Further, being able to join forces with some of the best minds and experience in e-commerce and flexo manufacturing will be a great benefit. We are excited about the growth and scale that will happen with Brook & Whittle and look forward to being a part of the team.”
Brook & Whittle operates 16 locations across the U.S., with product innovations like sustainable packaging, complex decoration, digitalization and shortened lead times.
