CGX's M&A Criteria -- Wanted: Industry Leaders

My goal has been to identify the best companies and proactively approach them, but I also learn of opportunities through intermediaries or directly from the owners themselves (there is an e-mail link to the M&A team from our Website).

The purpose of this article is to shed some light on what Consolidated Graphics looks for in acquisition candidates. But before I describe the generic characteristics of attractive printing companies, it will be helpful to first share a little background on some of our recent acquisitions because these companies share many of the characteristics that we look for generally.
