HEXIS acquires Stickittome

HEXIS SAS has announced the acquisition of Australian distributor Stickittome, with the company saying the move “intensifies its growth strategy”.

Stickittome, started in 2001 by Scott Niven, specialises in the supply of vinyl films for printing and cutting; it also offers a wide range of accessories for the application of adhesive films.

“We are extremely happy to be able to take this step in strengthening our Team and the HEXIS brand here in Australia. We will look to focus on our customer relationships and site visits to work closely with clients on projects and their daily needs. Keeping on the Stickittome staff and adding more experience to our sales force will add to our overall Hex’pertise, and we look forward to new conversations in the near future”, said Ian Parsonson, Managing Director of HEXIS Australia.

Parsonson also noted that the HEXIS company philosophy is based on similar values to those of the co-founder of Stickittome, saying, “It is a family-run business built from the ground up, with owners and partners who have a passion for the industry. Moreover, they strive to remain as close as possible to the end-users and their needs enabling them to provide them with the best solutions and products.”

Emphasising the importance of the new operation, Clément Mateu, CEO of HEXIS SAS, said, "HEXIS has experienced continuous growth for several years on the Australian continent thanks to the involvement and market knowledge of our teams as well as our distributor Stickittome. The decision to invest locally a few years ago proved to be wise and has led us today, thanks to a particularly dynamic sign industry in Australia, to opt for this takeover operation.”
