RJ Young, one of the largest independent office technology dealers in the United States, today announced the acquisition of Advantage Business Solutions, Inc. (ABS) to expand its printing, promotional products and end-to-end marketing fulfillment services to help businesses improve management of their marketing collateral and workflow.
ABS, based in Nashville, is a leading supplier of print and promotional products, servicing clients nationwide. The acquisition strengthens RJ Young’s end-to-end printing and marketing fulfillment capabilities by adding ABS’s experienced team, expanding RJ Young’s nationwide account base and facilitating access to key vertical markets.
“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,” said Chip Crunk, president and chief executive officer of RJ Young.
Crunk added, “ABS’s experienced team will add value for RJ Young customers choosing to outsource the management of printing, promotional products and fulfillment, and our in-house information technology, web-to-print and document solutions will enhance the value for current ABS customers.”
RJ Young plans to assume management of Advantage Business Solutions accounts, estimated at $3.5 million annually, and transition ABS’s 13 employees, by the end of this month. ABS operated for 16 years from their headquarters at 6213 Charlotte Pike in Nashville, TN.
