Anderson & Vreeland acquires Canada-based Flexolution

Anderson & Vreeland has acquired Flexolution, a Canada-based distributor of flexographic printing materials serving Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. 

Flexolution, founded in 1989 by Pierre Noël, has a Montreal-based sales office and warehouse. ‘Pierre’s success with the Flexolution team allows us to better serve the Canadian market in one bold move,’ said Thomas Gavin, CEO of Anderson & Vreeland. ‘Pierre’s intense drive and commitment to provide better service and performance is in perfect sync with Anderson & Vreeland’s core values.’   

Pierre Noël said: ‘A&V’s state-of-the-art product line and well-recognized technical support are tremendous strengths that will better serve our customers. Combining the strengths of our two organizations will create a synergy to achieve long-term growth and truly benefit all of our customers.’ Noël will continue to direct all sales activities for the new company, now known as Anderson & Vreeland Canada, throughout eastern Canada. 

‘A&V Canada will offer products from leading-edge manufacturers including Flint, Toyobo, 3M, Lohmann, Esko and Stork, backed by a team of sales professionals and an arsenal of technical support,’ said Drew Elisius, vice president of operations for Anderson & Vreeland. 

Anderson & Vreeland’s expansion into Canada further solidifies the company’s presence in the North American market. Future plans include the opening of a sales office and warehouse in the Toronto area and then expanding into western provinces.  The company has nine distribution sites throughout the United States and three distribution sites in Mexico.
