Business Wire
Standard Register (NYSE:SR) today announced that it has
purchased the assets of Fusion Graphics, Inc., a leader in in-mold
labeling (IML) and decorating technology. The assets consist
primarily of intellectual property and will become part of the
company’s Industramark™ business unit, which is focused on product
marking and other solutions for industrial manufacturers.
“Standard Register has licensed certain technology from Fusion
Graphics in the in-mold labeling space for about two years,” said
Tom Furey, president of Industramark. “The acquisition of Fusion’s
patented IML products and intellectual property will enable us to
help manufacturers label and brand their products with more
permanence and durability. Additionally, it adds to our already
robust suite of product marking solutions.”
The acquisition includes Fusion’s Grafilm® In-Mold Labeling
System, a patented family of products which enables in-mold
decorating technology to be used across a wide range of
applications. Key attributes include conformability to irregular
product surfaces and durable, fade-resistant product marking. The
complete Grafilm product line works with virtually all
thermoplastics and rubber.
“Through this acquisition, Standard Register can now help a much
broader group of customers worldwide in using Grafilm to enhance
their products,” said Bob Freund, founder and co-owner of Fusion
Graphics and inventor of Grafilm. “We can now continually develop
new products by combining the material science capabilities of
Standard Register with Grafilm’s unique properties.”
Joe Morgan, president and CEO of Standard Register, noted how
this acquisition fits with the transformation of the company. “We
aligned into three market-facing business units last year to focus
on the needs of our healthcare, commercial and industrial
customers, and to enable us to target investments to support these
customers. Standard Register also has a legacy of innovation,
currently holding numerous active patents. The acquisition of
Fusion helps us to broaden our intellectual property portfolio and
enhance our material science capabilities while remaining focused
on the markets we serve.”
