Mail Solutions acquires Adare SEC division, Kalamazoo
Telford-based envelope and print solutions company Mail Solutions has acquired Kalamazoo – a security print business and division of Adare SEC.
Kalamazoo has a long-standing history having been producing secure documents for well-known organisations for
over 100 years.
Mail Solutions was founded in 2000 and has evolved into a £30m+ turnover business which works with commercial and public sector clients to provide printed envelopes, direct mail stationary, letters and leaflets, and more.
The acquisition was completed on October 31st, 2023, for an undisclosed sum. As a result, Kalamazoo’s Redditch site remains fully operational with all staff moving across to Mail Solutions under TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment rights).
Whilst Tony Strong, chief executive officer of Adare SEC says the decision to sell the division wasn’t made lightly, he says Mail Solutions is well positioned to drive further success for the business.
Following the acquisition, Adare SEC will continue to focus on areas that align with its long-term vision and objectives.
Karl Lee, managing director of employee-owned Mail Solutions Telford, comments: “We are delighted and excited to be investing in a renowned brand, with proven operational quality. We see great synergy between our existing model and the markets that Kalamazoo operates in.
“We look forward to supporting the growth of Kalamazoo and look forward to introducing its products and services to existing clients. Together, our clients can now look forward to a more comprehensive suite of solutions, backed by cutting-edge technology, innovation, and a dedication to sustainability.”
