The
beginning of a note on Investopedia….
Staples (NASDAQ: SPLS) still intends on buying its office
supplies retail rival Office Depot (NASDAQ: ODP) despite the FTC's attempts to block the
merger, and it recently announced it was selling its print solutions business
for an undisclosed sum to help further that end.
The print solutions division offers printing services to businesses,
including business cards, brochures, labels, and packaging options. The
business will be acquired by Taylor's communications subsidiary, which was
formed last year after bidding on Standard Register, a communications services
company for financial services, healthcare, retail, and industrial markets that
went bankrupt after over 100 years in business.
Staples copy and print business has been a key performing segment and
has grown to account for nearly 10% of its retail sales with gross margins well
in excess of the company as a whole.
