Tempo Industries, Westbury, N.Y., announced today that it has acquired the assets of Apn Ribbon Badge Line, a New Hyde Park, New York-based supplier of ribbon rolls, ribbon badges and sashes.
"We are thrilled to be able to add Apn Ribbon Badges' well-established line of ribbons, sashes and related products to Tempo's already impressive line of USB flash drives, pens, tools and other products," said Stuart Braunstein, president of Tempo Industries. "This addition enables us to immediately be a major supplier in the ribbon category, to offer a new product line to our existing customer base, and to offer Tempo's huge product line to Apn's loyal customer-base.”
"The two companies' shared vision of excellent product quality and award-winning customer service made this a natural fit," Braunstein added.
Apn Ribbon Badge Line's New Hyde Park factory will close and all operations and equipment will be moved to Tempo Industries' New York facility a few miles away. During the integration process, which is expected to take several days, it will be business as usual.
New contact information for Apn Ribbon Badge Line is as follows:
Tempo Industries Inc.
90 Hopper Street.

Apn Ribbon Badge Line owners Mel Kusher and Neil Stark, as well as key members of the Apn team, will be working together with Tempo Industries to make this a seamless transition for their customers. Braunstein said that some of Apn’s key employees will be joining Tempo Industries, while others will remain as consultants.
This is Tempo Industries' third acquisition in the past five years. The company also acquired Jayline in 2009 and Timenet in 2012.
