Impact, a direct mail services provider based in Minneapolis, has acquired the statement processing, laser operation and lettershop capabilities of ZipSort Inc. The acquisition increases the 25-year-old company’s mailing and fulfillment capacity from an average of 600,000 pieces to more than a million pieces of mail each day. Impact did not disclose the acquisition price.
As part of the agreement, Impact will continue to support current ZipSort clients and ongoing contracts. In addition to the equipment, Impact will move the 102 ZipSort employees based in the Twin-Cities to Impact’s facility in Minneapolis. The consolidation of the two operation should be completed by the end of 2008.
In order to accommodate the growth as well as the additional equipment and personnel, Impact will be adding 60,000 square feet to its facility.
