Label Source Inc., a provider of labeling solutions and known for its expertise in custom product identification, has announced the acquisition of a division of OMNI Systems located in Bogart, GA, USA.

“We are delighted to announce the acquisition of OMNI Systems’ Bogart division as it represents a significant milestone for Label Source’s continued growth and commitment to manufacturing custom product identification solutions,” states Chris Geeslin, Sr., founder and CEO of Label Source. “With the addition of this facility and under the leadership of Label Source founder and COO Michael Wrigley and president Christopher Geeslin Jr., we are poised to provide even more comprehensive and innovative products and service to our customers.”
