ACCO Brands Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire GXT Holding B.V. and its subsidiaries, known as Trust, a pan‑European provider of computer and gaming accessories, in a transaction valued at approximately $57 million. Trust generates approximately $100 million in annual revenue and operates an asset‑light model with outsourced manufacturing, serving customers across Europe and Latin America through retail, e‑commerce and B2B channels.
The acquisition supports ACCO Brands’ strategic pivot toward higher‑growth technology peripherals; on a pro forma basis, this category is expected to generate about $500 million in annual sales. The company expects the deal to be modestly accretive to adjusted EPS in the first 12 months and to deliver estimated cost synergies of $5–$8 million within 18 months after closing. The purchase will be financed using borrowings under ACCO Brands’ revolving credit facility, with limited impact to pro forma leverage, and is expected to close in late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including applicable competition authority approvals.

ACCO Brands Corporation reported first quarter 2026 net sales of $343.7 million, up 8.3% from $317.4 million a year earlier, helped by the EPOS acquisition, foreign exchange and growth in Latin America and computer accessories.

Adjusted net income was $1.8 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $2.0 million, and adjusted diluted EPS improved to $0.02 from $(0.02).
