MOUNTAIN LAKES, NJ, September 6, 2024 - Graphic Arts Advisors (GAA), a leading M&A advisory and consulting firm serving the printing, mailing, packaging, and graphic communications industries, is pleased to announce Michael Wurst's recent promotion to Managing Director. The move from his role as a Director is a result of his elevated contribution and ongoing efforts to guide clients and facilitate positive outcomes within multiple engagements since he joined the team in 2019.
Wurst shared his passion for working through customer engagements, “My favorite aspect of working with GAA is how gratifying it is when we help a client achieve their goals.” In discussing his new role, Wurst noted that “after the whipsawing in deal flow created by the Covid pandemic, the current M&A market in the graphic communications industry
is now in a steady state. Sellers are returning to the market, ready to exit ownership, many with reasonable expectations. Buyers are eager to acquire businesses, both as operating entities and as tuck-ins, depending on the particular situation.”
In making the announcement of Wurst ’s new position, Mark Hahn, Senior Managing Director of GAA, noted “Michael has in excess of 40 years of experience in the print and graphic communications industry, both as the owner of a large commercial printing company and active participant in our industry associations. He brings his business and transactional experience to our clients, always with keen insights and a steady hand, guiding clients to successful outcomes. We are very pleased to recognize the significant value Michael provides to assist our clients to achieve their strategic and financial objectives.”
Wurst will be participating in a live panel discussion on Tuesday, September 10 at 11 am in conjunction with
the Printing United Expo 2024 trade show in Las Vegas, September 10 – 12. The event titled “Buyer’s View that
Drives Company Value in M&A” will be facilitated by Hahn with additional panelists Jennifer Pettinger, CEO/Partner of Sun Print Solutions in Salt Lake City, and Matt Marzullo, President of Ironmark in Annapolis.
