Legion Paper acquires Moab

Nov 9, 2006 10:28 AM

Legion Paper (New York) has acquired Moab Paper Co. (Moab, UT). The acquisition will form the Moab by Legion Paper dedicated to digital fine printing.

The Moab Paper Co. portfolio includes Entrada Fine Art, Kayenta Photo Matte, Kokopelli Photo Gloss and Satin, as well as the Chinle line of digital portfolios and books.

“Combining the worldwide fine art paper expertise of Legion Paper with the digital imaging product and manufacturing experience of Moab is a natural fit,” says Moab president Gregory Schern. Schern will head the new division with distribution moving to Legion Paper’s specialized warehouses in California and New Jersey. “The partnership enables Moab by Legion Paper to combine the strengths of both companies to offer the widest selection of high quality imaging solutions to professionals and photo enthusiasts alike,” he adds.

Legion Paper’s COO, Joshua Levine, notes, “With the completion of this acquisition, Legion Paper continues to solidify its position as the leader in the sales and distribution of the world’s finest papers. The new Moab Imaging division draws on the heritage and innovation of both companies, enabling us to develop new products for the evolving needs of today’s demanding professionals.”

The transaction is expected to be complete by the end of 2006.
