Seneca Label & Packaging has acquired Seneca Printing Express & Label, a printing solutions provider.

This move launches a strategic initiative to create a comprehensive platform for industrial label services targeting high-volume clients.

The company will prioritise the industrial sector, focusing on the 'cut-and-stack' label format, valued for its efficiency and durability in large-scale packaging applications.

Led by CEO Nizar Elias, a printing industry veteran and former CEO of Western Shield Label and Imprimus Labels and Packaging, Seneca Label & Packaging strengthens its position with this acquisition.

Seneca Printing Express & Label has long been recognised across the Northeastern US for its dependable service and skilled craftsmanship.

The transaction was advised by Wood Creek Advisors, with Ned Weaver serving as the strategic M&A advisor for Seneca Label & Packaging.

Seneca Printing Express & Label was represented by Mark Hahn, senior managing director of Graphic Arts Advisors, a boutique investment banking company specialising in the printing, packaging, and graphic communication industries.

Elias said: “This acquisition maintains what makes Seneca Printing Express so trusted by its loyal customers, while adding the infrastructure and resources needed to scale.

Weaver added: "Seneca Printing Express has a strong foundation and reputation for quality. Its deep roots and great people make this an ideal partnership for growing a best-in-class label platform.”

Established in 1992, Seneca Printing Express is a multigeneration company and was led by Jeff Steigerwald Sr.

In 2014, Jeff Steigerwald Jr took over the company and assumed the helm. With a focus on fast turnaround, Steigerwald Jr. expanded Seneca Printing Express into a cut-and-stack label company servicing private label branded customers.
