Ampersand Label, Inc.

The Company is a manufacturer of prime and extended text pressure sensitive labels, tags, and related printed products for customers in the health and beauty, pharmaceutical, and nutritional supplements sectors. The Company derives its competitive advantage through the utilization of proprietary label management systems and technologies, which is corroborated by a service-centric model in which design staff work closely with customers to solve both technical production and marketing design challenges. High rates of growth are expected from government mandated disclosure requirements that will render extended text labels a necessity for an increasing number of pharmaceutical, nutritional supplement, and health and beauty customers. The Company has invested heavily to distance itself from the majority of flexographic label printers through the development and use of intellectual property. The Company’s intellectual property, its ability to design and customize label products and applications has positioned the company for high growth.  MRCWorldwide initiated the transaction, acted as financial advisors, structured, and negotiated the transaction on behalf of the Ampersand shareholders.
