The Tape Products Division, based in Watervliet, New York, manufactures and sells a broad range of tape products for HVAC, industrial and general purpose applications. To assist with the divestiture, Nashua has retained the services of Chemical Securities, Inc. The Company hopes to complete the sale in early 1996. Following the divestiture, Nashua's Commercial Products Group will be composed of three divisions: Specialty Coated Products, Label Products and Imaging Supplies. Joseph A. Baute, president and chief executive officer of Nashua Corporation, stated, "Recently, Nashua realigned its Commercial Products Group, creating three new, yet closely related, divisions focused on our traditional core markets. We believe that selling our tape business is a natural extension of this realignment due to its substantially different markets, distribution channels and cost structure. The sale should allow us to devote more management, technical and financial resources to our newly created business units." Nashua Corporation offers a diverse mix of products including thermal papers, pressure-sensitive labels, specialty papers and tapes, copier, ink jet and laser printer supplies, aluminum substrates, and amateur photofinishing services. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
