Ennis Inc. (asi/52493) announced that one of its wholly owned subsidiaries has acquired the assets of forms manufacturer Major Business Systems, based in Hillsborough, NC. The subsidiary will now operate under the Major Business Systems name, and current Major Business Systems owner Jeff Russell will continue in his position.

“We are very pleased to add Major Business Systems to the Ennis family,” said Keith Walters, chairman, CEO and president of Ennis in an official statement. “Major provides some additional capabilities to our product line and their focus on value-added products in the health care industry is consistent with our desire to expand this product line throughout the Ennis network. We think this will enhance our current product mix and allow us to pursue more expansive product lines in the integrated document market.”
