Central National acquires A.T. Clayton, its second acquisition in one month

摘要

In its seventh acquisition in four years and the second in a month, Central National-Gottesman (CNG) purchased one of North America's largest paper suppliers, A.T. Clayton, and its print consultancy and print management affiliates J.S. Eliezer and Continuum. The transaction took place Nov. 29 when CNG, through a subsidiary, purchased all the outstanding stock of A.T. Clayton's parent company, Integrated Resources Holdings. An internal memo to CNG employees from CEO Ken Wallach on Dec. 2 described A.T. Clayton as "a successful and innovative company," and "one of the largest and most highly regarded distributors of paper to the magazine and catalog industry." The acquisition would allow CNG to enhance its presence in the publishing community, Wallach said.
