Chip Crunk, President and CEO of RJ Young
RJ Young has acquired Advantage Business Solutions to expand its “printing and marketing fulfilment”.
The office dealer says it is “one of the largest independent office technology dealers in the United States”, and offers services including MPS, office imaging and 3D printing alongside document management solutions and IT services. Advantage Business Solutions (ABS) meanwhile is a “print and promotional products” supplier, and the acquisition “demonstrates [RJ Young’s] commitment to growth [and] expansion of key business services”.
RJ Young added that the deal will allow it to expand its own “printing, promotional products and end-to-end marketing fulfilment services to help businesses improve management of their marketing collateral and workflow”. ABS’ “experienced” team of 13 staff will also help in “expanding RJ Young’s nationwide account base and facilitating access to key vertical markets”. RJ Young will “assume management” of ABS’ accounts, worth around $3.5 million (€3.2 million) a year, by the end of August.
Chip Crunk, President and CEO of RJ Young, commented: “This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to aggressive growth through investing in key solutions that integrate with our current business, and further illustrates RJ Young’s commitment to customers by investing in services that they need in order to succeed.
“ABS’s experienced team will add value for RJ Young customers choosing to outsource the management of printing, promotional products and fulfilment, and our in-house information technology, web-to-print and document solutions will enhance the value for current ABS customers.”
