Graph Comm International, a subsidiary of Graphic Communications Holdings, Inc., has acquired Euro-Papier, a Belgian paper and print management company. Graphic Communications Holdings is a part of Unisource Worldwide, Inc., Norcross, GA, a distributor of commercial printing and business imaging papers, packaging systems and facility supplies and equipment.

The acquisition, which has been renamed Graph Comm Belgium, strengthens Unisource's market position in Europe, said Al Dragon, Unisource CEO.

"The existing Euro-Papier business, which includes a significant portfolio of retail and catalog paper customers, fits in well with our strategic business model," said Matt Dawley, president of Graphic Communications. "Euro-Papier team members, including the current leadership team, will now become part of Graph Comm Belgium. This will allow us to continue to use their market expertise and leverage this experience to develop multi-channel customer solutions in Europe and across the globe."
