FLM Graphics: Living Large (Format) in NJ

The Misischias appear to be keen judges when it comes to analyzing prospects. FLM Graphics boasts a strong balance sheet, and it has been able to complete all of its deals by using operating capital. The firm doesn't borrow money for that purpose, which leads to a more conservative approach.

In looking for possible add-ons, Misischia Sr. says the ideal candidates are those in the New York Metro area, namely Connecticut and New Jersey; firms that need a boost in their equipment offering; and companies that might be struggling with personnel or union issues. A product and service match is critical, and he underscores the importance of the cultural fit.
