CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS -- The Art of Acquisition

Not Everything Changes

There's no remorse associated with an acquisition by Consolidated Graphics, no icky feeling that would prompt a company to change its name. In fact, keep your name; CGX likes it as much as they like the management team that was in place beforehand.

As for assimilation? Integration? Forget the melting pot. CGX's acquisitions are one reason its balance sheet is so enviable, not because its acquirees fall into lock step.
