Printing Industry M&A Firm CDA Opens First International Office in UK

Mike Roberts

Corporate Development Associates (CDA) today announced the addition of UK printing industry veteran Mike Roberts to its deal-making team as its liaison to the UK. Roberts is currently the owner of print distributor PMG Print Management Ltd. in West Yorkshire, England. He has spent his entire 32-year career in the printing industry, beginning with a short stint at Hardy Business Forms (subsequently acquired by Moore Paragon) before joining print management company Alistair McIntosh Limited (aka Alimac).

“We are delighted to announce the addition of Mike to our deal-making team as our liaison to the UK,” said Jim Anderson, CDA’s founder and president. “We are being asked more and more by our USA-based clients to explore opportunities in the UK and vice-versa—UK companies wanting to acquire USA-based companies. I fully expect that Mike will provide a great conduit for CDA with both print distributors/management companies and manufacturers by using his absolutely incredible base of IPIA [UK version of PSDA] member contacts.”

"I am pleased to enter into this new relationship with CDA, as Jim, along with his associates, are all print industry veterans," Roberts said. "CDA has a track record of success in the printing industry in the U.S., and it is my intent to assist them in doing the same in the UK. I have many long-standing personal relationships with print industry principals, particularly within the business forms, commercial print and label segments of our industry which is my area of expertise.”
