History Flint Group’s history is characterised by a long list of mergers and acquisitions. The company successfully integrated and combined four businesses that together cover nearly the complete range of packaging and print media print consumables. In 2004, CVC Capital acquired ANI, an ink producer that was previously a business unit of Akzo Nobel and BASF Printing Systems, a business unit of BASF, and combined both companies. The acquisition of Flint Ink Corporation, a US supplier of printing ink and colourants, in late 2005, resulted in the formation of Flint Group. In 2007, Flint Group acquired Day International, Inc., a manufacturer of consumable image-transfer products and press room chemicals for the packaging and print media industries, which supplemented Flint Group’s existing product line and increased its global position in the non-ink pressroom consumables market. Over the last five years, Flint Group has become a leading global print consumable and solution provider to the packaging and print media industries.
