Gourmet Foods, Concierge Technologies’ New Zealand Subsidiary, Acquires Printstock Products

Transaction Expands Concierge’s Profitable Presence in the NZ Foodservice Sector

SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 6, 2020 / Concierge Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:CNCG) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Gourmet Foods Limited, has completed the acquisition of Printstock Products Ltd., a New Zealand-based printer of custom labeled food packaging products, for NZ$1.9 million, or approximately US$1.2 million, in cash.

Printstock will continue to operate under its current management team, led by Graham Eagle, Managing Director, who founded the company in 1983. Printstock supplies a number of food and confection manufacturers in New Zealand and Australia with custom printed packaging, produced on state-of-the-art color printing presses from their facility in Napier, New Zealand.

Gourmet Foods, a commercial-scale bakery, which produces and distributes approximately 300,000 meat pies and related items per month throughout New Zealand, is a long-time customer of Printstock. Consolidated annual revenues for the combined entities are expected to top NZ$10 million, equal to approximately US$6.5 million, for the coming fiscal year.

“We are always looking to acquire profitable, sustainable, companies with management in place, particularly in the industries where we already have a presence,” said Nicholas Gerber, Chief Executive Officer of Concierge Technologies. “With Printstock, we found a perfect fit, that as well, allows us to increase profitability through vertical integration, giving us the ability to eliminate a major external link in Gourmet Foods’ supply chain.”

“The addition of Printstock represents a further example of the commitment to the growth of our operating subsidiaries within their respective sectors,” said David Neibert, Chief Operations Officer of Concierge Technologies. “This acquisition was penned in 2019, then delayed due to the pandemic, which was not our ideal timeline. However, even in these challenging times of COVID-19 lock-downs, Gourmet Foods and Printstock have been in continuous operation and profitable. We are looking forward to the time when restrictions are lifted, and we can continue our growth initiatives in New Zealand and elsewhere in a more timely manner,” Neibert added.
