Arkansas Graphics Inc. of Little Rock has acquired TCPrint Solutions of North Little Rock, uniting two of the state’s largest commercial printing companies.

The merger, effective May 6, brings together more than 130 years of combined experience and aims to strengthen both companies’ ability to serve clients through expanded capabilities.

Founded in 1974, Arkansas Graphics specializes in offset and digital printing across the region. TCPrint Solutions, originally founded as Twin City Printing in 1945, works with short-run digital and wide-format printing, packaging and fulfillment services.

In the near term, both the Arkansas Graphics and TCPrint Solutions brands will remain, while the companies gradually integrate operations. Customers can expect continued access to their current teams.

“This merger is about creating something greater than the sum of our parts,” Kevin Wilcox, president of Arkansas Graphics Inc., said in a press release. “Together, we’re enhancing our capacity to deliver cutting-edge solutions while maintaining the personal service and quality our customers have trusted for decades. It’s a rare opportunity to combine legacies, talent and technology in a way that moves us all forward.”

As part of the merger, Leigh Ann Newton, president of TCPrint Solutions and daughter of owner Mike Simpson, will remain with the company in a leadership role, helping guide the integration and ensuring continuity for TCPrint’s long-standing client relationships. Her brother, Drew Simpson, will also remain with the company as senior account executive.

The newly combined organization will operate from Arkansas Graphics’ headquarters in Little Rock, with a phased integration planned over the next several months.

“We’ve always prided ourselves on delivering exceptional value to our customers, and that will only grow with this partnership,” Mike Simpson said in the release. “Arkansas Graphics shares our values, our work ethic and our belief in putting the customer first. This merger secures our future and opens new doors for our team and clients.”

Financial terms of the merger were not disclosed.
