Sandy Alexander Inc., a commercial graphic communications firm based in Clifton, announced Feb. 6 that it acquired Abbott Communications Group, headquartered in Orlando, Fla.  

This is the first acquisition for Sandy Alexander since it was bought by Colorado-based private equity firm Snow Peak Capital in April 2022. Financial terms of the ACG deal were not disclosed. 

Founded in 1977, ACG offers printing, mailing and print management solutions to customers in the entertainment, hospitality and advertising markets. 

“It was important for ACG to find a partner that can help the company grow while preserving the legacy of our family business, and we certainly found that in Sandy Alexander,” ACG President Art Abbott said in a statement. 

Sandy Alexander CEO Mike Graff said the deal adds “a highly complementary operation to our existing Orlando and Tampa Bay locations.” 

In addition to its Clifton headquarters, Sandy Alexander has facilities in New York, California and Florida, as well as satellite sales offices Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, California, Oregon and Florida, according to its website.

Anthony Chirikos, partner at Snow Peak Capital, welcomed the ACG team to the company and added, “We are eager to support the team through this next chapter and we plan to continue to expand the platform through organic initiatives as well as through disciplined M&A.” 

Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth acted as legal advisor to Snow Peak Capital. New Direction Partners and WhiteBird PLLC served as financial and legal advisors, respectively, to ABC. Debt financing for the transaction was provided by PNC Bank and M&T Bank.
