Fortis Solutions Group, a provider of printing packaging solutions and a portfolio company of funds managed by Harvest Partners, has snapped up Quebec-based Profecta Labels.

Profecta Labels is a Canadian flexographic and digital label and flexible packaging printing company that serves North America’s industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food and beverage end-markets.

Through the acquisition, Fortis intends to expand its product offerings and locations available to its client base.

Fortis Solutions Group president and CEO John Wynne, Jr. said: “We are excited to extend our footprint to Canada and partner with Pierre Roberge and his talented team to deliver additional solutions and capabilities to our customers.

“Pierre and I share similar business philosophies and we look forward to working together to build upon Profecta’s success.”

Profecta owner Pierre Roberge said: “For the past 30 years, we have built an amazing company with an incredible group of people.

“I am thrilled and look forward to teaming up with John and the Fortis group for this new chapter and continue our growth.”

Fortis has more than 1,100 employees across its 17 manufacturing sites.

Headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Fortis Solutions Group uses its flexographic, letterpress, offset and digital printing capabilities to deliver a large range of products.

The products include pressure sensitive and shrink sleeve labels, multi-ply coupon and flexible packaging printing, extended booklet printing, pouches, folding cartons, label applicators and variable data printing.

Earlier this month, Fortis Solutions Group announced the acquisition of Label Tech.
