Cleveland-based Braden Sutphin Ink Co. is being acquired by Wikoff Color Corp.

The acquisition of Braden Sutphin, which operates from 10 locations across the country, primarily in the East, Central, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, increases the South-Carolina-based Wikoff’s service capabilities and exposure in the North American market.

Geoff Peters, president and CEO of Wikoff Color, said in a statement, “Much like the founding vision for Wikoff Color Corporation, Braden Sutphin has a primary focus on providing technical sales support and customer service to accompany their high quality products. This alignment in values makes our two companies well-suited to join forces for the future.”

“Braden Sutphin is known for exceptional integrity and service,” said Jim Leitch, CEO of Braden Sutphin, in a statement. “We have taken pride in having the scale to offer a full range of products, while not losing sight of our customer service and local support. Wikoff Color has a longstanding history of the same customer-focused approach and our team is excited to join forces with such a reputable company.”
