I
received an e-mail, this morning, from Robert Feld of The Color Company, and he
provided me a copy of the Press Release you’ll read below.
So,
The Color Company has, in fact, purchased the assets of Service Point USA,
Inc. And, The Color Company has also
purchased CFI (Chris Fowler International), the “financial printing” part of
SP’s business.
COLOR COMPANY LIVES UP TO THE ROOTS
OF THE NAME
Press Release,
29th November 2013
It is
announced today that Color Company 1 Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Color Company (TM) Limited domiciled in the UK has acquired the entire assets
of Servicepoint US Inc. (“Spusa”) and CFI Inc. (“CFI”) from the syndicate of
bank lenders to Service Point SA under the aegis of Ernst and Young administrators
to GPP Capital PLC.
Spusa and CFI
ceased certain operations on Friday 8th November 2013. Before closing they
operated 7 locations in the Philadelphia to Boston corridor offering printing,
finishing, wide format and digital reprographics as well as serving nationwide
many architectural and construction businesses through their On Site Services
division.
Elgin Loane,
Managing Director commented “In London our brand has been spelt the American
way Color instead of Colour for years so the addition of this acquisition is
indeed heartily welcome. Many of our London based clients have offices on the
US Eastern sea board so the synergy is self-evident. Spusa and CFI were managed
at a distance from Barcelona but our management team will be far more supportive
by being hands on.”
He added “the
task ahead of us is to re-establish the business and this we have already
started at New Haven CT where the business has reopened where the previous
staff have re-joined and started work immediately on re-engaging with their
clients. This process will continue in the other US major cities.”

Fairclough of The Color Company:

untrue.”
