Promoting healthy business

Article Abstract:

UK firm Bemrose Corporation's acquisitive strategy has helped the company become the biggest single supplier in the approx $6 billion US promotional products market. The strategy has been masterminded by a young management team established in the early 1990s, which is highly expansion-oriented. Bemrose is one of the world's biggest calendar printers, and has a share of around 20% of the US promotional calendar market. Bemrose continues to seek acquisitions, and sees its most exciting prospects for long-term growth as being in the UK promotional products sector.
