Keith Walters, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Ennis, Inc., commented by stating, “We are very pleased to add these two brands and locations to the Ennis family. It is very important to expand our envelope capabilities and production on the east coast to complement our products and capabilities in the middle of the country and the West coast. These products are sold through our normal sales channel of independent distributors, so these two businesses complement our current business model. Overall we feel very excited to bring the WISCO and NIC brands to our distributor channel.” About Ennis Ennis, Inc.
