Menomonee Falls-based Arandell Corporation recently completed the acquisition of a printing facility in Maple Grove, Minnesota with more than 200 employees from CJK Group headquartered in Brainerd, Minnesota. Arandell is one of the nation’s leading providers of catalog and brochure printing, mailing and logistics. The Maple Grove operations include a large double-web press platform that can efficiently run lightweight paperstocks and a bindery that offers significant capacity for both flat and letter marketing mail.

Already one of the largest printers in the country, by the addition of the Maple Grove facility, Arandell significantly increases its available capacity – complementing the ongoing expansion at the Menomonee Falls facility – and provides an even wider range of print and binding solutions to its customers to support their needs and help manage costs. 

Sandy L. Ford, President and CEO of Arandell, said, “We are tremendously excited to welcome the Maple Grove team to Arandell. Maple Grove has a great reputation for quality and reliability, and their capabilities are a perfect complement to our Menomonee Falls facility, allowing us to grow across both locations. Arandell is committed to being the leading provider of print mail solutions in the marketplace, and this acquisition represents a milestone for our organization in that mission.”

Arandell is a portfolio company of Saothair Capital Partners, a private equity firm focused exclusively on investing in middle-market manufacturing and industrial companies.
