Ennis, Inc. announced on November 17, 2025 that it will acquire CFC Print & Mail, a wholesale provider of business‑document printing, mailing and commercial print solutions headquartered in Grand Prairie, Texas. The deal adds a company founded in 2009 that ranks 15th among U.S. trade printers and is known for its industry‑leading turnaround times and automation capabilities.
Ennis, founded in 1909 and headquartered in Midlothian, Texas, is the largest trade printer in the United States. The acquisition brings CFC’s national distributor network and quick‑turn service expertise into Ennis’s existing operations, creating a deeper distribution footprint and a broader product mix that can serve a wider range of customer needs.
Strategically, the transaction positions Ennis to reinforce its leadership in a market that is increasingly challenged by digital disruption. By integrating CFC’s high‑speed, automated production lines, Ennis can offer faster turnaround and more flexible service options, which are critical for customers who demand rapid, customized print solutions. The expanded capacity also supports Ennis’s goal of scaling its national reach without taking on debt, consistent with its recent acquisition strategy.
Financially, Ennis reported Q3 2025 revenue of $99.8 million, a 4.6% decline year‑over‑year but a 0.7% sequential increase. Net income was $10.2 million, and earnings per share were $0.39. Gross profit margin stood at 29.3% and operating margin at 13.1%. The company’s recent earnings beat analyst expectations by $0.24 per share, driven largely by disciplined cost management and a favorable mix shift toward higher‑margin commercial contracts.
Ennis CEO Keith S. Walters emphasized that the acquisition aligns with the company’s focus on quality, responsiveness and national scale. He noted that CFC’s reputation for innovation and efficiency complements Ennis’s existing capabilities, and that the combined entity will be better positioned to meet evolving customer demands while maintaining strong profitability.
