Gemini Industries, Roxana, Ill., announced the acquisition of F&H Ribbon Co., a provider of award ribbons and rosettes for the awards and recognition industry. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

Founded in Dallas in 1962, F&H Ribbon designs and manufactures highly customized award ribbons, neck ribbons, rosettes, sashes, banners, celluloid buttons, certificates and folders, and also carries full lines of medals, award pins and tiaras.

"We are excited to add F&H Ribbon to our portfolio of industry-leading products and services," Scott Schaeffer, president of Gemini Industries, said. "For more than 55 years, F&H Ribbon has been synonymous with extremely high quality customized ribbons and rosettes throughout the U.S. We plan to continue investing in and building our combined company, and we are singularly focused on offering our customers, both new and old, the best products and services in the country.

"I am very pleased to partner with Gemini," Rhea Ann Pope, president of F&H Ribbon Co., said. "I have known Gemini's reputation for high quality, made-in-the-USA promotional products for decades, and I could not ask for a better steward of our business. Our companies complement each other, and I'm confident that all stakeholders will benefit—customers through a stronger and broader line of products, and vendors through increased investments to expand our product lines. I look forward to bigger and better things for F&H Ribbon's customers as a result of this union."
