Comments: The packaging market remains strong, and packaging ink specialists are seeing growth. For American Inks & Coatings (AIC), the sixth-largest U.S. packaging ink manufacturer, 2012 saw strong growth, as the company combined sales gains from its customer base as well as from its 2011 acquisition of Graphic Sciences.
AIC’s key markets include flexible packaging, folding carton, multi-wall bags and gift wrap ink markets, and the addition of Graphic Sciences, a water-based corrugated ink specialist, in October 2011 gave the country a strong position in that segment.
Michael Mosley, COO of American Inks & Coatings, noted that packaging is AIC’s key market, and added that the company expects to see “continued growth in the markets we serve.”
