J.M. Fry Printing Inks announced it is now under new ownership, marking a significant new chapter in its history after proudly serving the North American market for over 87 years. This transition represents not only a new business phase of growth and opportunity, but also continues the story of family commitment that has always been at the heart of J.M. Fry Printing Inks.
The Fry & Hodges family — Justin Fry, Alvin, Billy, Jim, and Robert Hodges — led J.M. Fry Printing Inks for nearly nine decades. Though Justin Fry and Alvin Hodges are no longer with the company, their legacy, has shaped the company into what it is today. Under their leadership, J.M. Fry Printing Inks built strong, lasting relationships and established high standards of quality and service.
In keeping with that family tradition, J.M. Fry Printing Inks remains a family-driven business and is proud to introduce Oak Street Ventures LLC as the new owners, led by the father-and-son team of Jerry Mosley, Chairman of the Board, and Michael Mosley, President & CEO. Together, they bring a wealth of experience and expertise in the printing inks and coatings industry, having worked in the field for decades and understanding the value of hard work and commitment to upholding the standards of J.M. Printing Inks.
“We are deeply grateful for their remarkable contributions, which will continue to inspire us as we move forward. While ownership has changed, one thing will not: our unwavering dedication to our valued customers and partners,” said Michael Mosley. “The name J.M. Fry Inks Printing Inks will remain, reflecting the continuity of our mission to deliver exceptional products and service. As we step into this new era, we look forward to continuing the strong relationships that have been the foundation of our success and working together toward even greater achievements.”
