Continental Plastic Card, Biz-Mag Announce Merger

Representatives from Pompano Beach, FL-based Continental Plastic Card (asi/46460) and North Miami, FL-based Biz-Mag (asi/40592) have announced a merger, resulting in Continental BizMag (asi/46460). Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

“We are excited to finally take our company to the next level by streamlining the order experience for our customers,” Tony Gardner, president of Continental BizMag, said in a press release. “We’ve been in business for over 40 years and this partnership has helped us to modernize our process by providing our customers with an e-commerce option for the first time. Many of our competitors outsource their work overseas and we are proud to continue manufacturing and creating jobs right here in South Florida.”

Plastic badges and cards are among the products produced by Continental BizMag.

Biz-Mag, specializing in high quality magnet printing, was originally acquired by Continental Plastic Card in April 2019, but the companies continued to run independently. The new company is now positioned as one of the largest plastic card and magnet printing and fulfillment companies in the U.S., with over 70 employees in its 45,000-square-foot facility in Pompano Beach, FL.

Biz-Mag’s operations have been heavily focused on e-commerce, the company says, with most orders being processed online. On the other hand, Continental Plastic Card has acquired its client base of over 15,000 customers offline and is eager to enter the e-commerce space. Both companies are trade printers that service B2B wholesale customers, whose end-users include clients like United Way, RE/MAX, BlueCross BlueShield, Brinks Home Security and more.

“This merger has allowed us to nearly double the size of our product catalog, which is something we are very excited to share with our customers,” said Charles Feldman, Biz-Mag’s former president and current director of sales at Continental BizMag.
