New Zealand label printer acquired by SATO

New Zealand-based label printer Jenkins Labels, a leading name in the country’s label market with an emphasis on the food and beverage sector, has been acquired by Japan’s global security label specialist, SATO. The move will considerably augment SATO’s NZ’s operations and product offering in New Zealand.

SATO chief executive Kaz Matsuyama is quoted as pointing out that his company’s Jenkins acquisition is a major Asian expansionary move, with particular emphasis on an ability to deliver Jenkins’ well-known range of primary labels, shrink sleeve labels and wraparound labels, self-adhesive product labeling, promotional material, and overprintable labels.

It is understood Jenkins’ sister company, Freshpak Systems which concentrates on New Zealand horticulture products, is not part of the SATO acquisition.
