“Continuing to expand LSC’s logistics service offering in ways that add value to our clients’ businesses has been a sharp focus for us,” said Thomas J.

Gores acquired The Clark Group out of the firm’s lower middle market fund, Gores Small Capitalization Partners, and then followed with a number of add-on acquisitions to establish a world class logistics provider with a single source supply chain solution. Clark has experienced significant success in customized reverse logistics solutions for the book industry over the past five years, resulting in revenue growth and significant cost savings to publishers, distributors and retailers.

“We believe that the Clark management team has executed a valued transformation over the years, and has landed with the right company in LSC.” added Chris Crowell, Managing Director of The Gores Group. “We wish the Clark team continued success in their partnership with LSC.”

LSC has been building the company’s distribution capabilities for print and non-print materials. This acquisition marks LSC Communications’ second acquisition in the logistics space this year, following the acquisition of Fairrington Transportation announced on July 31, 2017.
