Elanders AB (publ): Elanders continues its international expansion and acquires Seiz Printing in the U.S.

Elanders broadens its international platform, primarily within the
segment Automotive, by acquiring the shares in Seiz Printing Co,
Atlanta, USA, which gives Elanders production capacity in North
America.

Elanders has signed a contract with the owners of Seiz Printing Co,
Acworth, Atlanta, Georgia, USA to acquire all the shares in the
company. The company has 60 employees and a turnover of some MUSD 14.
For the past couple of years Elanders has worked together with Seiz
in production and deliveries to the Group's automotive customers in
the U.S. The company is specialised in high quality offset production
and logistic services. The purchase price is estimated at MUSD 3. The
former owners are, and will continue to be, active in the company."We see great opportunities through this acquisition to strengthen
our position in the segment Automotive in USA. Several of our
customers have requested deliveries in the U.S. and we believe
Atlanta, located in the expansive southeast of the country, is a good
place to set up shop for deliveries to Group customers in the North
American market", says Patrick Holm, President and CEO of Elanders.
