Partnership expands capabilities, strengthens regional reach, and creates new opportunities for customers across Ohio, Kentucky, and beyond.
Think Patented is pleased to announce the acquisition of Clark & Riggs Printing, a Louisville, Kentucky-based provider of commercial printing, fulfillment, and marketing services.
This partnership brings together two privately held companies that share a commitment to quality craftsmanship, responsive service, and long-term customer relationships. Both organizations have built their success by serving as trusted partners to their customers, offering broad capabilities backed by personalized, relationship-driven service.
With operations now spanning the Dayton region, Cincinnati, and Louisville, the combined organization expands its ability to serve customers throughout the Midwest and across the country. By bringing together complementary strengths in print production, fulfillment, mailing, promotional products, and marketing execution, Think Patented and Clark & Riggs are better positioned to deliver innovative solutions and exceptional service at every stage of the customer journey.
Founded in 1992 by Gary Clark and Robert Riggs, Clark & Riggs has earned a strong reputation throughout the Louisville region for its award-winning print production, integrated business solutions, and hands-on approach to customer service. The company will continue operating in Louisville as Clark & Riggs Printing, and both founders will remain actively involved in the business to support customers, employees, and the transition process.
Reflecting on the acquisition, Think Patented President Dave McNerney shared:
“Clark & Riggs has built an outstanding reputation for quality, expertise, and customer care. From our first conversations, it was clear that our organizations share many of the same values. We’re excited to bring our talented teams together and invest in the future of the business while preserving what has made Clark & Riggs such a respected company.”
For Clark & Riggs, the partnership creates new opportunities for growth while maintaining the culture and customer relationships that have defined the company for more than three decades.
“This partnership expands what’s possible for our team and the customers we serve,” said Robert Riggs, President of Clark & Riggs Printing. “Gary and I have always been committed to our customers, our employees, and the relationships we’ve built over the years. By joining Think Patented, we’re expanding what’s possible for our team and the businesses we serve while preserving the culture and service that define who we are.”
Gary Clark, Vice President of Clark & Riggs Printing, added:
“What stood out to us from the beginning was the importance that Think Patented places on people. They understood that our employees, customers, and culture are the foundation of our success. That made this the right fit for our team and for the future of Clark & Riggs.”
What This Means for Customers
Customers of both organizations can expect continuity, expanded resources, and access to a broader range of capabilities. Existing customer relationships, service teams, and day-to-day operations will remain a priority as the two organizations come together.
The acquisition enhances Think Patented’s ability to provide comprehensive marketing execution solutions while reinforcing its long-term commitment to delivering exceptional service, reliable execution, and meaningful results for customers nationwide.
