Founded in 1958, the Graphics Division of Arlon, Inc. is a manufacturer of a full line of high-quality pressure-sensitive cast vinyl, flexible substrates, and print media films for digital imaging, signage, vehicle graphic, and screen printing. The new Arlon Graphics, LLC will extend offers of employment to the executives and employees. When the acquisition is complete, FlexCon will have the option to purchase Arlon Engineered Coated Products and Arlon SignTech Ltd. of San Antonio, Texas, following necessary due diligence, the company states.

“The agreement to purchase the Graphics Division of Arlon, Inc. is in response to changing market needs and evolving customer demands,” says Michael Kelliher, executive vice president, sales and marketing at FlexCon. “Our customers will benefit from FlexCon’s expanded product offering and our continued commitment to the highest quality of customer service.”
