We are pleased to announce that LindFast Solutions Group (LSG) has completed the purchase of Merco Tape today. Merco is a long-standing master distributor with several decades of experience in the distribution of tape and related accessories and the same focus on meeting the customers’ needs that we have at LindFast. We are excited to welcome the Merco Tape team to LSG and are confident that together we will serve our customers even better.

Merco specializes in and offers all varieties of adhesive tape including Merco Tape® brand, national and international brands, generic blank core and custom private label products. Duct tapes, Electrical tapes, Masking tapes as well as specialty tapes for extreme and critical applications such as aerospace, defense, medicine, the sciences and more. We are excited about entering a new product category that is adjacent to our core fastener offering and relevant to our existing customers. We look forward to learning from the Merco team and in expanding Merco’s existing northeast footprint across LSG’s facilities. We think this combination is very powerful and establishes LSG as a master distribution platform focused on creating value for our customers, suppliers, employees, and all stakeholders.

To our external stakeholders: customers, suppliers, and other partners, we expect very little will change in the near term. Our goal is to maintain the strong Merco Tape brand in the market and their relentless focus on meeting customers’ tape needs. As a result, very little on the front end/customer facing aspects of the business will change. For the foreseeable future we will continue to operate out of Merco’s Hillburn, NY facility, will remain on the same ERP system, and will extend the same policies in place now. Over time we will stock Merco’s products across LSG’s existing facilities throughout North America in order to better serve our customers and meet their tape needs wherever needed.

Again, we are very excited to be welcoming Merco Tape to our LindFast team. We believe the combination will be a powerful force to better serve our customers.
