KITCHENER, ON—Cober Evolving Solutions has purchased the Kempenfelt Group and Kempenfelt Wideformat in Barrie, adding the group's wide-format and interactive services to its arsenal.

The move marks yet another Greater Toronto Area region expansion for Cober, which purchased Waterloo-based CuteGecko design and marketing agency in January.

"We are thrilled to welcome the skills and services of the Kempenfelt Group to our team," said president Peter Cober in a company release. "They have very similar team cultures and pride when it comes to innovation, just like us."

Kempenfelt launched in 1972 and offered creative, print, direct mail, web-to-print and interactive marketing services. "We truly are excited for this new phase, and what it means for the clients, partners and friends that have worked and supported the Kempenfelt Group for the past 40 years," said Kempenfelt president Chris Peacock.

"With Cober's incredible resources at hand, this new venture gives our clients the ability to be able to do so much more." According to the release, the two teams will work together to build on each other's offerings.

Cober Evolving Solutions was founded 1916 and is regarded for its embrace and development of new technology. It offers conventional print, web-based marketing, bindery, mailing, warehousing management, fulfillment, distribution and online services.
