PROFILE |
 |
The world's #2 ink maker (behind Sun Chemical), Flint Ink sells its products across several continents and has drawn a bull's-eye on becoming #1. The company hopes to accomplish this goal through its acquisition strategy. Flint Ink has plants throughout the Americas, Australasia, and Europe. The company's customers include printing facilities that produce magazines, newspapers, catalogs, and packaging materials. Flint Ink also makes specialty inks (for example, for printing lottery tickets) and environment-friendly vegetable oil-based inks. The Flint family owns the company and Howard Flint II represents the third generation of the family to head the firm, which was founded in 1920.
