Proforma Distributors Acquire Printing Co.

Steve Flaughers, owner of Proforma 3rd Degree Marketing, and Dick Kulick, owner of Proforma Excalibur Business Solutions, acquired Hyde Brothers Printing Co. Financial terms of the transaction were not released, but the acquired company will now be known as Hyde Brothers Printing and Marketing.

Together, Flaughers and Kulick plan to extend the business’s offerings to include promotional items, multimedia services, branded apparel, mobile marketing and website design. Hyde Brothers has been in the commercial printing business for more than a century. Flaughers and Kulick were able to complete the transaction thanks to participation in a mergers and acquisition program offered by Proforma (asi/300094). The mergers team guided them through the buying process.
