Resource Label Group, LLC, a manufacturer of pressure sensitive label, shrink sleeve and RFID/NFC products for the packaging industry, has announced it has acquired Gintzler International, a provider of labeling and packaging identification solutions to the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, medical, health and beauty, automotive, industrial and specialty consumer goods markets.

Resource Label is a portfolio company of First Atlantic Capital, Ltd., a private investment firm specializing in acquiring and growing mid-size companies.

Located in Buffalo, NY, and Liberty Hill, TX, Gintzler provides innovative packaging identification solutions that help clients sell more products. Gintzler employs a wide range of technologies, including flexographic and digital printing capabilities, laser diecutting and shrink sleeve manufacturing assets. In 2016, L&NW associate editor Greg Hrinya paid Gintzer a visit to its Buffalo facilty as the converter was the subject of a L&NW Narrow Web Profile.

“I am excited to welcome Gintzler International to our family,” comments Bob Simko, president and CEO of Resource Label. “Gintzler International brings a diverse array of customers – particularly in the attractive pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries – deep focus on technology and innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality and service. I look forward to working closely with Gintzler’s talented employee base and leveraging its facilities in Buffalo and Liberty Hill as we seek to grow our customer base and end-markets.”

Roberto Buaron, chairman and CEO of First Atlantic Capital, says, “We are pleased to support Resource Label’s continued expansion and its mission to become a leader in this dynamic industry. Resource Label and Gintzler are emblematic of our proven investment approach – taking majority stakes in companies with experienced management teams and a strong market position, and building them through add-on acquisitions and organic growth. We continue to evaluate opportunities to expand the business.”

Emilio Pedroni, managing director of First Atlantic Capital, adds, “The commitment of the management team and legacy owners, combined with their intense focus on serving our customers, has enabled Resource Label to develop into an exceptional company over the past several years.”

“We are very excited to join the Resource Label Group family,” states Mary and Bryan Scheible, former owners of Gintzler. “Resource Label shares our culture and commitment to ensuring the long-term success of our customers and valued employees. We believe this partnership is key to supporting our vision and the growth plans for the business. The level of professionalism and access to resources which First Atlantic and Resource Label provide will allow Gintzler to offer additional innovative capabilities and services to new and existing customers.”

Gintzler represents the 10th acquisition since First Atlantic acquired Resource Label. Resource Label now operates thirteen manufacturing facilities throughout the US and Canada.
