| Global expansion into the USA Elanders’ acquisition of Seiz Printing ACWORTH, Georgia USA - Seiz Printing, Inc. was founded in 1972 by Emil Seiz. The Company was successfully owned and run by Emil’s three sons: Charlie, Bill and Eddie, for 25 years. Charlie Seiz, Managing Director of Seiz, said, “We are very excited about being a part of Elanders. Th e global solutions that we can off er to our customers can’t be matched by our competition. Th ere are many other advantages to being part of Elanders, and all the employees at Seiz look forward to our future.” Seiz Printing is known for its high quality, and has many well-known customers in the United States. In addition, Seiz has partnered with Sommer Corporate Media just outside Stuttgart, Germany for over three years on work for Daimler, specifi cally Mercedes Benz, USA. So, Seiz already has a proven track record with Sommer Corporate Media, also an Elanders’ owned company. “Our work in the automotive segment and the telecommunications area is a good fi t for the Elanders Group,” said Seiz. “Also, geographically it makes sense for Elanders to have a printing company in the US for our global strategy.” Charlie Seiz, will remain as Managing Director of Seiz, working with Don King, Production Manager and Shannon Fortune Executive Assistant. Bill and Eddie Seiz will focus their attention on sales. Charlie Seiz will report directly to Peter Sommer at Sommer Corporate Media, now in Executive Management for Elanders and responsible for the German and US markets. “Several of our customers have requested deliveries in the U.S. and we believe Atlanta, located in the expansive southeast of the country, is a good place to set up shop for deliveries to Group customers in the North American market”, said Patrick Holm, President and CEO of Elanders. |
