Inovar Packaging Group has completed its acquisition of Amherst Label, which is based in Milford, NH, USA. This is Inovar’s ninth platform company and adds to its existing manufacturing footprint in Dallas, TX, Newburyport, MA, Fort Lauderdale, FL, Milwaukee, WI, Kansas City, KS, Oceanside, CA, Westfield, MA, Sioux Falls, SD, and Aberdeen, SD.
The company is executing on a strategic plan for growth, both organically and through acquisition in partnership with owners and management, building a regionally based prime label business across North America. Inovar’s mission is to serve the needs of specialty consumer and durable products companies who value short lead times, innovative solutions, technical support and local service while also offering multiple locations and production options for scale, redundancy and flexibility.
“We are ecstatic to have Amherst Label join the Inovar family,” says Jeff Brezek, executive chairman and CEO of Inovar Packaging Group. “The Calvetti family, president, Nye Hornor, and the entire Amherst Label team have built an impressive business. During their extensive history, their core values and strategy have been focused on delivering an unparalleled product and service offering. We see countless opportunities as a combined team to drive value for our customers, employees, and partners.”
Meanwhile, SheetLabels.com (SLI), a digital and flexographic label manufacturer, has announced the opening of a new facility in Pflugerville, TX, in the Austin metro area. The move significantly expands the company’s capacity while enhancing customer service to clients in the South and Western US.
Equipped with redundant capabilities of its flagship location in New York State, the new facility houses both flexo and digital presses, including both inkjet and electrophotographic digital technologies. Label finishing and embellishment techniques on-site include embossing, hot and cold foiling, tactile and standard varnishing, and specialty film lamination. In addition, laser finishing is also available for prototyping and converting the most intricate of label diecuts.
Complementing its extensive printing and converting capabilities, SLI also offers at the new Texas location comprehensive creative and design services. Blank sheet products are also available for immediate delivery, while the entire product line benefits from improved lead and shipping times to the West Coast.
Alan Etheridge, SLI’s senior vice president, comments, “We’re always listening to the unique needs of all of our clients, and will continue to heavily invest in areas that provide benefits and services. Our expansion into Texas gives us needed manufacturing redundancy, specific capacity, and the ability to service our Southern and Western clients in an improved and meaningful way.”
