Crescenda announces the sale of Digigraphics, Inc.

Minneapolis, Minnesota – Crescenda Investment Banking Advisors announced that its client, DigiGraphics, Inc. was acquired by Imagine Print Solutions, Inc. The deal closed last week. 

Founded in 1979, DigiGraphics has grown to become one of the highest quality large format digital print providers in the Midwest. Providing large format graphics, museum display graphics, and environmental signage in a custom built, state-of-the-art facility, DigiGraphics offers a full range of digital inkjet and photographic print and fulfillment services. DigiGraphics also offers customers direct to fabric printing capabilities, custom framing and large format fine art printing and scanning. "DigiGraphics is a highly customer-focused company that will enhance our print-on-demand initiative and continue to expand our capabilities as we look for additional ways to service our clients efficiently," commented Bob Lothenbach, owner and President of Imagine Print Solutions. "Our acquisition strategy is to develop a complementary set of companies to solve our customers’ design, print and distribution requirements. DigiGraphics is an excellent first acquisition for us.” 

Craig Mandery, Vice President of Imagine added, "DigiGraphics has diversified itself well beyond photo reproduction and traditional ink on paper printing to provide an end-to-end solution, including consultation, output, mounting options, display hardware and installation. We expect significant synergies will be created between our two companies.” Bob Remakel, owner and President of DigiGraphics commented, "Partnering with Imagine Print Solutions will bring DigiGraphics additional capabilities and resources that will allow DigiGraphics to expand our service offerings to our customers while remaining independent. We look forward to working with Imagine! to create new opportunities for our customers and employees." 

Remakel added, “We had been approached by other companies, but I believe the partnership with Imagine will allow us to continue to build DigiGraphics by providing the support and financial resources to grow much faster than we would be capable on our own”
