MIDLOTHIAN, Texas - Ennis Inc. on Tuesday announced the acquisition of Hoosier Data Forms in Indianapolis, Indiana.

According to a press release, Hoosier Data Forms produces traditional snap-outs, continuous forms, cut sheets and additional value added services. John Cornelius, previous owner of Hoosier Data Forms, will remain with Hoosier in a sales and management capacity, Ennis Inc. said.

In a statement, Keith Walters, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Ennis, Inc., said, "We are pleased to add John Cornelius, Hoosier Data Forms and their loyal customers to the Ennis family. Hoosier Data Forms has being serving the region for almost 40 years and the Cornelius family's historic printing roots go back more than 100 years serving Midwest distributors."

Considering the close proximity of the Printegra Indianapolis and Hoosier Data Forms locations, Ennis said it will be consolidating the production into one facility. To minimize any negative impact on its customers, Ennis said the transition of Printegra Indianapolis from their current location to the new combined facility at 1002 East 25th Street, will be planned and executed over the next six months, adding that both companies and their employees will continue to operate under their respective brands.
