Long Point Capital Announces The Sale of National Print Group
Long Point Capital is pleased to announce our successful exit from our portfolio company, National Print Group, a leading large format printer specializing in Out-of Home/Outdoor advertising and Point-of-Purchase displays. During the course of our ownership, the company accomplished succession planning at the senior level of its management team, expanded its geographic reach by making an acquisition in the Western United States, invested in new press technology, and significantly grew its digital printing business.

Long Point Capital is a Michigan and New York based investment fund which partners with growth oriented companies to provide both equity capital and management support. Our principals have been involved in more than 50 transactions with an aggregate value exceeding $15 billion. Long Point Capital manages approximately $315 million of capital and focuses on investments in manufacturing, distribution, or industrial service companies, with revenues between $30 million to $200 million.

Long Point's leading investor is Masco Corporation, a diversified Fortune 500 Company. Where appropriate, Masco provides Long Point Capital and its portfolio companies with access to certain of Masco's corporate services, allowing Long Point to combine the flexibility of a financial investor with the strength of a major industrial company.
