Siegwerk acquires chemicals producer Allinova

Akanksha Meena — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 09:42:12 +0000

Siegwerk Druckfarben, one of the leading international suppliers of printing inks and coatings for packaging applications and labels, has signed a contract to purchase Allinova, a specialty chemicals company with coating expertise located in Hengelo, the Netherlands.

The company has a high technical competence especially in the formulation and production of water-based dispersions. With a globally established product portfolio ranging from polymer dispersions to wax emulsions and adhesives, this is an excellent addition to Siegwerk's portfolio of packaging coatings.

‘Allinova’s solutions fit perfectly into our product portfolio and accelerate our mission to provide innovative and sustainable coating solutions for the global packaging market,’ said Gilles Le Moigne, business head of circular economy coatings (CEC) at Siegwerk. ‘The acquisition will enable us to combine Allinova’s technical capabilities and expertise with our global reach and in-depth market knowledge.’

This represents a significant milestone in Siegwerk’s global growth strategy, extending its proven expertise beyond converters into papermill and film manufacturing operations. By integrating Allinova’s high-performance coating technologies and deep technical knowledge, Siegwerk is uniquely positioned to deliver advanced, application-specific solutions that meet the evolving demands of these industries.

‘We are delighted to have found a great partner and new shareholder for Allinova. Siegwerk will integrate our expertise into a significantly larger organization, thus advancing our products in the global market,’ said Gijs Elfrink, founder and owner of Allinova.

After its founding in 2005, the company initially focused on the development and sale of flame retardants and wax emulsions. With Bob Horsthuis joining as the second owner in 2016, business development was further accelerated and Allinova's product portfolio has been expanded over the last decade into a mature mix of high-quality dispersions and wax emulsions for packaging, but also other products such as flame retardants, repellents, crosslinkers, and other specialties. Following the completion of the acquisition, Gijs Elfrink and Bob Horsthuis will continue to remain part of the team.

In April 2024, Siegwerk established a new global business unit dedicated to functional coatings for the realization of sustainable packaging innovations in line with a Circular Economy.

‘By acquiring Allinova, Siegwerk is doubling down on our global expertise in the area of functional coatings and therefore strengthening our position to serve our customers even better as an enabler of circular packaging solutions across all applications and technologies,’ explained Nicolas Wiedmann, CEO of Siegwerk.

Today, the CEC unit serves as a cross-divisional hub of excellence for circular solutions, adding specialized functional coating technologies to the company’s conventional coating offerings. ‘With the acquisition of Allinova, we are now further expanding this technological expertise in the field of functional coatings, paving the way for even more packaging innovations in the future,’ added Wiedmann.

The latest acquisition follows other strategic investments that Siegwerk has already completed during recent years to strengthen its position as a full-range provider of inks and coatings for the packaging market. In 2022, Siegwerk acquired La Sorgente, one of the important ink suppliers for flexographic printing in Italy - especially for flexible packaging as well as paper and board applications. Through these and other acquisitions, Siegwerk has made targeted investments that have enabled the company to expand its global footprint and enhance its core business in packaging printing.

Both parties have agreed not to disclose any financial details.

All4Labels reaps benefits of South American focus

M&A 06 August 2025

All4Labels reaps benefits of South American focus

A plethora of M&A activity in South America, particularly in Brazil, has propelled All4Labels into a leading supplier of labels and packaging.

A plethora of M&A activity in South America, particularly in Brazil, has propelled All4Labels into a leading supplier of labels and packaging in the region.

Over the past two decades, ongoing consolidation among label converters has created a top tier of multi-national groups with dozens of facilities spread around the world. All4Labels, founded in 2016 with the merger of Brazil-based Baumgarten and German companies Rako and X-Label, is one such label and package printing behemoth, with more than 50 production facilities producing more than 80 billion labels a year and an annual revenue of around 1bn USD.

Yet one point of difference comes from All4Labels’ unique geographic spread. Its strongest presence, with some two-thirds of its facilities, is in Europe, and it also runs operations in Mexico, China and Africa. But in South America, following a raft of acquisitions over the past two years, it boasts more factories than any other label printing conglomerate.

This greater focus on South America compared to its rivals is partly explained by the extensive local market knowledge brought by one of the three founding members of the converting group. Prior to the creation of All4Labels, Baumgarten, already a leading label printer in Brazil, had acquired Argentina-based Autopack in 2014, as well as expanding into the wider Latin American region with the purchase of Mexican company Etiquetas Rodak in the same year.

“In the South and Central America region, we have seen tremendous growth opportunities arising, especially in Brazil”

Yet, it is also a strong vote of confidence in the potential of the South American label industry in general and the Brazilian market in particular, as well as the execution of a strategic plan: to focus on consolidating the company’s activities in South America following a period of doing the same in Europe, in order to ensure proximity to its customer base.

Consolidation

Following the formation of All4Labels in 2016, the company swiftly began further expansion in Europe, with the acquisition of leading Italian converter Nuceria Group, just a little more than 18 months later. With external investment from private equity company Triton arriving in 2019, All4Labels ramped up the growth of its European footprint in the following years with deals for more than a dozen companies spread around the continent, including in Denmark, Italy, Romania, Spain and the UK.

‘We were consolidated in the European market, but less so in South America,’ explains Fernando Gabel, former president of South and Central America for All4Labels, and now responsible for Central Europe and M&A. ‘From 2022 onwards, All4Labels drove substantial investments in M&A activities, especially across South America, with our operations in this area experiencing significant growth, counting today more than 15 production sites and entering a new market: Paraguay.

‘In the years that followed, we achieved a turnover increase of over 100 million EUR, significantly expanding our portfolio to include key industries such as healthcare, aviation, automotive, agrochemicals and durables.

All4Labels has a significant presence throughout South Americ

‘Our acquisition of a leading player in Chile further solidified our position as a key partner in the wine and spirits segment as well. By 2023, we strengthened our footprint in São Paulo, an important hub for regional and global customers. Furthermore, from 2022 to 2024, we invested more than 10 million EUR in cutting-edge flexography technology and in our healthcare division, expanding the capabilities of our facilities.’

Extensive M&A activity in Brazil, in particular, has led to All4Labels now running 14 production sites around the country and an additional office in São Paulo.

The expansion began in earnest in early 2022 with the acquisition of Flexoprint, a leading provider of labels and shrink sleeves with three manufacturing sites in Brazil and one in neighboring Paraguay. The following year, it added Label Press, a durables-focused converter based in the northern city of Manaus, food label converter Visionflex, Uniflexo, pharmaceutical label specialists Involv, Allbox, FaberPrint and Geon, as well as Maxcor, a specialist in the chemical and oil label market with two plants. Also in 2023, All4Labels acquired leading Chilean wine label converter AMF Etiquetas, further enhancing its regional presence in South America. In 2024, it opened a new facility in João Pessoa in northeastern Brazil.

Two key elements behind this focus on the Brazilian market are All4Labels’ philosophy of proximity to its clients, and strong growth in the local market. ‘We like to be very close to our customers,’ the company’s CEO, Günther Weymans says.

‘The Brazilian label market still has a low per capita pressure-sensitive label consumption, so we are betting on its continued growth,’ says Gabel. ‘Brazil is a fluctuating market, but in general there is a robust growth rate, driven largely by sectors such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Simultaneously, with the rise of e-commerce, businesses in Brazil are increasingly facing demands for innovative packaging solutions that meet regulatory requirements while also appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.

‘While Brazil’s GDP is expected to grow by 2.2 percent in 2025, experts also foresee important growth in the markets supplied by All4Labels, highlighting the 5 percent GDP growth for the agriculture market this year.’

There has been focused investment in digital technology recently at one of the company’s sites in São Paulo, aimed at expanding booklet production capacity, a key application for Brazil’s large agriculture and agrochemical market. All4Labels considers itself the leader in various products within these markets. The additional booklet production capacity will also help it expand further in the pharma market, as well as enhance its offering for the cosmetics sector, long a key focus for All4Labels. Further investment has also taken place to expand shrink sleeve production, a fast-growing market in Brazil.

“We are continually monitoring global market dynamics and remain open to evaluating potential acquisitions that could enhance our global network”

‘We have strategically positioned ourselves for anticipated market growth by significantly enhancing our high-tech booklet production capacity, enabling us to meet the industry’s rising demands with exceptional quality and innovation,’ says Weymans. ‘Additionally, in our sleeves division, we have expanded facilities and invested in advanced technologies, ensuring we continue to serve this expanding market while upholding the highest quality standards. These milestones are integral to All4Labels’ plan to achieve over 10 percent growth in South and Central America by 2025, solidifying our status as the leading converter in the region.’

Strategy

All4Labels’ rapid expansion in South America is an important pillar in the company’s principal aim: to become a leading player in the labeling and packaging sector worldwide. ‘In recent years, All4Labels has made significant strides in the labeling and packaging industry and undertaken substantial investments in expanding our global capabilities and updating our technology,’ says Weymans.

‘In the South and Central America region, we have seen tremendous growth opportunities arising, especially in Brazil. Our expansion in the region marks a significant step in our growth, enhancing the existing global presence and our commitment to proximity and customer‑centricity. As a result of our investments, we’re better equipped to improve service agility and responsiveness, supporting both global and local customers while reinforcing our dedication to exceptional customer service.

‘This success is a testament to our overarching global strategy, which aims to establish All4Labels as a leading player in the labeling and packaging sector worldwide. A key facet of this strategy is our commitment to providing proximity and local support to our customers, ensuring they receive the tailored solutions and service they need to thrive in their respective markets.’

Acquisition strategy

When considering companies for acquisition, All4Labels focuses on the business’ culture over aiming to add specific technological capabilities or strengthening particular market sectors. Even the best-laid plans can go awry, admits Fernando Gabel, so maintaining flexibility is key. ‘You might be looking at a specific sector but not able to find the right company in that moment. If that’s the case, it is better to grow organically than to make the wrong acquisition,’ he says.

‘We are continually monitoring global market dynamics and remain open to evaluating potential acquisitions that could enhance our global network,’ says Günther Weymans, CEO of All4Labels. ‘Our focus is on enriching our capabilities and ensuring that we provide our customers with top-tier service and the best labeling options available. That said, while we are assessing new opportunities, we also place significant emphasis on the consolidation and integration of any new entity. It’s essential for us to cultivate a unified company culture across our diverse and multicultural workforce.’

Prime Label acquires Arti-Bau

Adyasha Sinha — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 10:12:13 +0000

Prime Label Group, one of the leading label manufacturers in Central and Eastern Europe, has finalized the acquisition of shares in Arti-Bau, a Polish digital label printing company based in Lower Silesia. The Group is controlled by the Innova/6 SCA SICAV private equity fund, part of the Innova Capital group, and this deal marks the eighth acquisition completed with Innova’s participation.

In recent years, Prime Label has focused on growth through M&A, widening its reach not only by diversifying its service portfolio but also through geographical expansion. As a result, the Group has strengthened its position in label production in Central and Eastern Europe, securing the opportunity to acquire new customers from the DACH region and Scandinavia.

Arti-Bau was founded in 2012, and quickly evolved from a local manufacturer into a recognized partner for the packaging industry throughout Poland. Arti-Bau responds to growing market needs for personalization and flexible customer service by offering high-quality, self-adhesive labels using inkjet technology. A breakthrough moment for Arti-Bau came with the implementation of Europe's first hybrid label printing machine with the ability to refine low-volume print runs. This gave the company a competitive advantage in the premium label segment. Today, Arti-Bau is expanding its operations in Poland and German-speaking markets, leveraging its experience and know-how.

'Since 2019, we have been consistently building our position as the leading manufacturer of a wide range of labels in Central and Eastern Europe, using various printing technologies, including digital, offset, and flexo. 2024 was a breakthrough year for us – our sales exceeded 100 million EUR, placing us among the largest label manufacturers in Europe. It is also worth mentioning that since the first acquisition of the Lublin-based company Embepress, the Group has grown more than sevenfold thanks to our consistent buy-and-build strategy, which we intend to pursue,' said Arkadiusz Sapiecha, Prime Label Group CEO. 'I am convinced that adding Arti-Bau to Prime Label will result in even faster growth for our digital printing division (DigiPrime). Our focus on the highest quality customer service – from label design to rapid delivery – gives us a decisive advantage over the competition. In addition, thanks to two dedicated digital printing locations, we ensure a secure supply for our clients. I believe that the exchange of experience and best practices, combined with the shared values that guide us in doing business, will translate into both the success of the company and the satisfaction of our employees,' he added.

The new acquisition strengthens Prime Label's position in the field of digital label production, a segment that is rapidly growing in popularity. This is primarily due to the ability to print short runs cost-effectively, respond quickly to customer needs, and personalize labels. Market data also shows that demand for digitally printed labels is growing faster than for those produced using conventional techniques such as flexography or offset.

'We have always sought to strengthen our position in the Polish and European packaging markets by boldly investing in innovative technologies. However, facing the demands of the market daily naturally led us to seek new directions for development. We want our clients to feel the real benefits of this change, and the entire team to receive a boost of new energy, ideas, and technology. Joining a dynamic, European-scale group like Prime Label opens new perspectives for us. Prime Label, like us, focuses on people and their advancement, as they are the reason we are growing faster than our competitors. We believe that combining our experiences will enable us to build a global brand, allowing the entire Group to achieve its common business goal. Joining Prime Label is a milestone in the history of Arti-Bau, opening a new, exciting chapter and providing a much greater sense of security,' said Monika Stefańska, Arti-Bau's president of the management board.

'The inclusion of Arti-Bau into Prime Label is a strategic step that strengthens the Group's expertise in digital printing technology. We see tremendous potential in combining the teams’ experience and technologies, increasing operational efficiency and accelerating expansion in German-speaking markets. This acquisition will enable the Group to offer clients a complementary product portfolio – from short label runs to comprehensive packaging alternatives, such as ready-made stand-up pouches printed using digital technology – even better tailored to their specific needs and expectations,' said Michał Wojdyła, Partner at Innova Capital.

In the near term, Duplo’s focus will be on working closely with the BGM team to listen, learn and understand the business from within, setting the stage for a collaborative long-term strategy.

Annemarie Rhodes, BGM managing director, said: ‘Since we formed BGM more than 30 years ago, we have worked hard to develop innovative products and provide excellent customer service, while retaining our family business ethos. As we now look at our future development, we are confident that Duplo will continue with these aims, we are really excited for the opportunities that lay ahead.’

This acquisition reflects Duplo’s broader ambition to invest in complementary sectors and partner with businesses that share its commitment to quality, innovation and long-term customer value.

Heidelberg acquires Polar Mohr

Piotr Wnuk — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 00:14:56 +0000

Heidelberger has acquired the technology, intellectual property and brand rights of long-standing partner Polar Mohr, along with further assets, to consolidate its partnership and gain direct access to packaging markets in Asia, South America and the Middle East.

The two parties signed an agreement with the transaction expected to conclude within the coming weeks, after which Heidelberg will have exclusive global sales, service and marketing rights for the postpress products. The Polar Group companies, owned by SOL Capital Management, will continue to operate as a partner of Heidelberg for future development, production and assembly of Polar Mohr systems.

'Heidelberg is aiming to achieve targeted growth through M&A activities in attractive market segments. This acquisition underscores our credentials as a full-range supplier for our customers in the packaging and label industry, including service, and gives us exclusivity in a growing market,' said Jürgen Otto, CEO of Heidelberg. 'As a systems integrator, we cover the entire value chain of a packaging print shop – on a fully integrated and networked basis to ensure production is highly productive. Polar Mohr systems play a key role in this context.'

The partnership between Heidelberg and Polar Mohr dates back to the 1950s, with Polar Mohr developing and manufacturing the systems while Heidelberg has been responsible for large parts of the sales and service activities. On completion of the transaction, this responsibility will become global and exclusive.

Heidelberg offers post-press systems from Polar Mohr as an integral part of its portfolio. The focus is on automation, digitalization and workflow integration, with a view to boosting the productivity of customers' value chains in packaging and label production. The product range includes components and systems that link up and automate all processes from loading, jogging, cutting and die-cutting through to unloading and banding.

'When we took over the Polar Group in early 2023, we acquired a tradition-steeped group of companies full of innovative spirit. Over the past couple of years, we have further intensified the collaboration with Heidelberg. The next logical step for us was the long-term consolidation of this very close relationship,' said Dr. Paul Niederkofler, managing partner at SOL Capital Management. 'We are delighted to be taking the next important step together with this sale of brand rights and technology and the full incorporation of sales and service activities into the Heidelberg organization.'

Polar Mohr employs just under 250 staff at its Hofheim site, which produces high-tech post-press machines for cutting, packaging and label applications. All processes related to new machines, the supply of replacement parts, and service operations will remain the same for customers as before.

The two parties agreed that the details of the agreement would remain confidential.

Chinese packaging firm TedPack acquires Wisconsin operations

Piotr Wnuk — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 01:14:52 +0000

TedPack, a Chinese flexible packaging manufacturer, acquired the packaging operations of Fairview International and established its first US subsidiary to better serve American customers across all 50 states from its new headquarters in Port Washington, Wisconsin.

The acquisition transferred all flexible packaging business operations previously handled by Fairview International to TedPack, which had been serving the American market from China for 13 years.

'This acquisition allows us to provide better localized services to customers across all 50 states,' said Noah Zhang, co-founder of TedPack. 'The US has long been our main market, and by establishing operations here, we can offer improved response times and closer customer support.'

The transition preserved existing customer relationships and commitments. All current agreements, terms and ongoing projects continue without interruption under TedPack management. Customers work with the same staff members they knew at Fairview International.

Fairview International operated under the leadership of Vince Cochran, who announced the transition in a letter to customers. The company emphasized that the contact information remains the same initially, although customers receive communications from TedPack, TedPackUSA, or TedPackLLC.

The acquisition represents TedPack's strategy to expand its global presence and tap into international workforce capabilities. It plans to maintain high service standards while adding resources from its global operations.

According to Tedpack, the flexible packaging industry has seen an increase in demand for localized manufacturing and distribution services. The company’s expansion into US-based operations reflects its commitment to serving its primary American market more effectively across all 50 states.

The company's acquisition of Fairview International marks its first major expansion into the US market.

Double E Group consolidates Convertech operations under unified brand

Piotr Wnuk — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 04:13:21 +0000

Double E Group has announced that its subsidiary, Convertech, will transition to operate exclusively under the Double E Group brand, consolidating its manufacturing operations from Wharton, New Jersey, to the company's West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, facility.

The rebranding reflects operational integration rather than ownership change, as Convertech has operated as part of Double E Group since its acquisition. The company provides core chucks and shaft technology for converting industry applications.

Manufacturing consolidation at the Massachusetts campus aims to enhance production efficiency and customer service delivery. The transition includes updated branding and shipping information while maintaining existing product specifications and part numbers.

'This transition is about clarity, not change,' said Kyle Willis, CEO of Double E Group. 'Convertech has been part of the Double E Group for years. By bringing everything under one name and into one facility, we're reinforcing our unified commitment to customer success and product excellence.'

The integration preserves Convertech's technical team and manufacturing processes while providing access to Double E Group's expanded engineering and production resources. Customer purchasing information and technical drawings remain unchanged during the transition.

Frank D'Olivera, general manager of Convertech, added: 'We are excited to continue serving our partners as Double E Group. This evolution brings stronger alignment, faster turnaround and the same unwavering trust our customers have always counted on.'

The consolidation positions Double E Group to deliver comprehensive web handling technology from a single manufacturing location, supporting the company's growth strategy in converting industry markets.
