A&V Canada Completes Asset Purchase of Flexo Consumable Business from Grimco

Anderson & Vreeland announced the acquisition of flexographic consumable assets from Grimco, a legacy distributor of flexographic printing materials serving Canada. This serves as a part of Anderson & Vreeland’s strategic growth initiative, providing expanded service and support to Canadian customers.

Samuel Cadieux-Chalifour, of Grimco noted that “A&V’s leading position in the Canadian flexo market made it the obvious choice to acquire Grimco’s Flexo division ensuring continued support of its customers with world-class products and service.”

Joe Anderson, President of Anderson & Vreeland, Canada, shares his optimism for the company and industry, saying “the acquisition for the flexo consumable business from Grimco expands our footprint and improves our ability to serve the Canadian market.”

Anderson & Vreeland Canada, ULC. provides an extensive portfolio of flexo prepress equipment, materials, and new technologies. Some of the product offerings include XSYS, 3M, Tesa, Lohmann, Adheso, Toyobo, and doctor blades and seals by Provident Group. “The portfolio of flexo products from Grimco overlays perfectly with our current products and bolsters our position of world-class service and support in Canada,” Anderson added.

Since Anderson & Vreeland’s introduction into Canada in 2011, this new acquisition further solidifies the company’s commitment to the Canadian market. Plans call for establishing a distribution center in the Toronto area to better serve Ontario customers.
