The Pokemon Company Purchases TCG Printer Millenium Print Group

The Pokemon Company has acquired Millennium Print Group, the company responsible for printing Pokemon trading cards in North America.

The North Carolina-based card-printing company has been working with The Pokemon Company to produce and package Pokemon Trading Cards since 2015, and has been purchased by the latter for an undisclosed sum. Kenji Okubo, president of The Pokemon Company International, had this to say about the acquisition:

“The talented team at Millennium Print Group has been an important partner to The Pokemon Company International for many years, helping us bring the Pokemon Trading Card Game to our fans with the quality they expect, By joining forces in a more meaningful way, our goal is to enhance the ways our organizations work together and continue to bring the highest quality Pokemon TCG products to market. Simultaneously, we aim to develop Millennium into an even better, bigger, state-of-the-art version of their already exceptional organization, benefiting not just Pokemon, but all of their customers.”

According to reports, Millennium Print Group will continue to act as its own separate company, but will receive additional guidance and resources from The Pokemon Company to expand its “capabilities, infrastructure, and scale to become a premier printer of trading cards, serving the broader industry.”. Presumably, this expansion will help alleviate some of the shortages Pokemon cards have been experiencing on account of its increasing popularity with collectors.
