Company Description

George W. Steffen Bookbinders, Inc. is a leading provider of binding and finishing services, including Otabind® (layflat binding), perfect binding, saddle stitch, wire-o, and Plastikoil.

Services Provided

MelCap Partners served as Steffen’s exclusive investment banker and financial advisor in the sale of the business. We’d like to thank Bill and Betty Turoczy, for hiring MelCap Partners to represent them in this once in a lifetime transaction. It was an honor and pleasure to work with them throughout this exciting process.

The Result

In an effort to provide Mr & Mrs. Turoczy with liquidity, and to continue to support Steffen’s strategic growth plans, MelCap was able to successfully identify the most logical buyer for the business. As a result, Steffen was sold to Bindtech Holdings, Inc. headquartered in Nashville, TN. BindTech is one of the largest privately-owned trade binderies/ book manufacturers that services many major printers and publishers located throughout the United States. The Company has operations nationwide in Nashville, TN, Cleveland, OH, Kingsport, TN, Phoenix, AZ, Ypsilanti, MI, and Fitchburg, MA.

“Deciding to sell a company that we owned for 40 years filled us with mixed emotions. MelCap helped us through a complicated process by keeping in constant touch by phone and Zoom meetings to make sure that we, and the buyer, were in sync. Our trepidation turned to confident relief satisfied that our family business is in great hands.”
