CT-based Brook + Whittle announces its acquisition of New Century, KS-based Stouse LLC, a manufacturer and supplier of high-quality decals, labels, and promotional printed items. The strategic purchase brings Stouse into the Sprink Division of Brook + Whittle, which also includes Discount Labels, a leading label manufacturer.

Stouse and Discount Labels will continue to operate as individual companies, each maintaining its own unique strengths. The integration of Stouse’s production facility into Sprink’s manufacturing network improves manufacturing speed, capacity and reliability — ensuring that customers receive the highest level of service and quality.

Bill Wood, exec vp-Sprink Div., says, “This acquisition represents a significant milestone in Brook + Whittle’s growth strategy, further enhancing our capabilities and product offerings. By uniting Stouse with Sprink and Discount Labels, we can provide our customers with an unmatched range of products and solutions, delivered fast and with high quality. With this acquisition, we enable Stouse to sell standup pouches, RFID-embedded labels, shipping labels and prime labels—at the same time we open Stouse’s product portfolio of coasters, parking hang tags, magnets, decals, yard signs, folding cartons and stickers to the Brook + Whittle family of companies.”
