PRESS RELEASE
PEAK Technologies, a Platinum Equity company, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Integrated Labeling Systems (ILS), a leading value added reseller and systems integrator of Automatic ID (Barcoding, RFID, UID) solutions. 

ILS, based in Nashua, NH, specializes in delivering Automatic ID solutions to manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and healthcare facilities.  ILS maintains a core area of geographic focus in the Northeast region spanning 11 US states, with extended product sales and service coverage for multi-site accounts throughout the United States. 

“The PEAK acquisition of ILS was based on the business synergies that exist between the two companies in several key areas including products, customers, vendor relationships and geographic focus.  ILS maintains a core focus in the Northeast while PEAK Technologies is a nationwide provider. The combination of the two provides ILS customers with an expanded geographic footprint and platform for both companies to roll out a broader solution set to serve current clients and to form an even more compelling value proposition to attract new customers,” said Ross Young, president and CEO, PEAK Technologies.

ILS, founded in 1985, offers customers a range of solutions including barcoding, RFID, enterprise printing and labeling, RF systems and wireless professional services, onsite and depot services, data collection and bar code labeling software, printer applicators and UID verification solutions.

“PEAK and ILS customers remain our first priority, and we are committed to providing excellent service throughout the transition period. Our goal is to maintain business as usual, with no disruption in service or support,” Mr. Young said. “We are also looking forward to expanding our existing relationship with customers of both companies, by combining our capabilities and geographic presence to serve as a single source  providing customers with access to all relevant products and services with one phone call.”
