Flint Ink will become Europes third largest ink manufacturer, since it made the strategic decision to develop business beyond the North American market with its 1997 acquisition of Manders-Premier.
The merger is expected to be completed by the end of next month and will create Flint-Schmidt Europe, with sales of about 275m.
Flint Ink Europe president Jim Mahoney will become Flint-Schmidt chief executive officer, while Gebrder Schmidt managing director Helmut Schmidt will become the new companys chief operating officer.
Mahoney said: "This agreement gives us strong access into the German market."
