Think Patented Inks Deal to Obtain Chisano Marketing

MIAMISBURG, OH—Think Patented has entered into an agreement to acquire Chisano Marketing Communications, an integrated marketing services company founded in 1986. Chisano provides marketing consultation, digital printing, fulfillment and other solutions.

Approximately 20 Chisano Marketing employees will move from the firm's Miamisburg office to Think Patented’s new 75,000-square-foot facility, also in Miamisburg. The integration of both companies will take place over the next two to three months.

Think Patented’s capabilities include offset and digital printing, direct mail services, literature and product fulfillment, as well as Website development and integration. This transaction accelerates Think Patented’s strategic plan for growth in marketing fulfillment and technology integration.

"Chisano Marketing’s proprietary fulfillment software solution has made them a leader in literature fulfillment programs," said Ken McNerney, Think Patented CEO and managing partner. "Companies with extensive national requirements have benefited from utilizing these solutions. Incorporating this technology will add depth to our existing product offerings."

Chisano Marketing’s client roster includes local and national companies across a wide range of industries. "Chisano Marketing’s clients have come to expect outstanding service," noted Niels Winther, chairman and managing partner. "We are excited about the opportunity to continue providing exceptional service to these organizations. Additionally, Chisano Marketing will bring a wealth of industry talent to our organization."

Chisano Marketing owners, Tom and Carolyn Chisano, will continue to provide account supervision during a transition period. Greg Doherty, Chisano Marketing’s general manager, will bring 30-plus years of printing and fulfillment expertise to Think Patented.

Chisano’s subsidiary, Chisano Marketing Group, located in Orlando, FL, will not be part of this acquisition. The subsidiary will continue to operate as a standalone organization.
