A business worth protecting
For nearly five decades, two lifelong owners built a highly specialized Long Island printing company known for quality, recurring customer relationships, and a deeply experienced 25-person team. When they were ready to retire, they wanted more than a buyer: they wanted a capable successor, a clean sale of both the business and its real estate, and confidence that their legacy would continue.
That combination — a specialized trade business, a long operating history, and real estate tied to the transaction — created a more complex deal than most. It required a broker who could hold all the pieces together across an 18-month process.
The Robbins Pellegrino difference
Positioned the real opportunity.
Robbins Pellegrino helped buyers see beyond broad industry assumptions to the company's approximately 98% recurring work, automation, skilled workforce, and expansion potential.
Adjusted with honesty.
When operating results softened after the listing launched, the team reset the valuation story thoughtfully — protecting credibility while continuing to advocate for the business, property, and the complete package.
Found the right next-generation owners.
In November 2025, a young, energetic buyer team emerged with the ability, commitment, and respect needed to carry the business forward.
Kept every party moving.
Through due diligence, financing, environmental work, legal documentation, and closing coordination, Robbins Pellegrino stayed engaged, solved problems, maintained trust, and preserved momentum.
A successful outcome for both sides
The transaction closed in May 2026 for $6.15 million, including the real estate. The sellers limited their post-closing exposure to a $150,000 SBA-required note and received the clean retirement path they wanted.
The buyers gained a 60-day transition plus a 10-month consulting agreement — providing the knowledge and continuity needed to begin the next chapter with confidence.
"From the beginning, Robbins Pellegrino treated us professionally, honestly, and respectfully. Their persistence made the difference in getting the sale done, despite the roadblocks that came up along the way."
