This week, Moore, a leading constituent experience management (CXM) company, announced the acquisition of Tri-State Envelope, an industry leader specializing in custom envelope manufacturing based in Ashland.
With this latest asset purchase, Tri-State Envelope, with 324 employees, is the fourth envelope manufacturing company Moore has added to its portfolio, along with St. Louis Print Group, Worcester Envelope Company and its $31 million investment in Richmond Print Group.
Tri-State in Ashland, with additional manufacturing facilities in Iowa and Maryland, Tri-State Envelope will expand Moore’s supply chain stability through increased capacity, redundancy and location diversification. In its multi-state locations, Tri-State Envelope has the capacity to manufacture 20 million envelopes per day.
“Everyone at Tri-State Envelope is very excited about our future as part of Moore,” said Joe O’Donnell, president of Tri-State Envelope. “The envelope manufacturing industry is a critical component in the direct mail business and Tri-State is proud to be on the front lines to provide nonprofits with the materials they need to fundraise for their mission.”
The acquisition comes after the employees of Tri-State Envelope Corporation, through its employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), voted overwhelmingly to approve the transaction with Moore. The company will operate as Tri-State Envelope. Financial details of the transaction were not provided.
