AC Labels to supply Detex labels following customer collapse

AC Labels, which previously manufactured Detex labels for the verification of gamma radiation sterilization, has launched the Gammatex brand following the collapse of its largest customer for that range, Sessions of York.  

Dr Adrian Steele, managing director of AC Labels, said: 'It was with great sadness that we have witnessed the administration of Sessions of York last week, which supplied many satisfied customers with Detex labels over the years. Detex labels were commonly used in the medical and pharmaceuticals industries as verification that products had been subjected to the necessary dosage of radiation to ensure full sterilization.  

‘Without Sessions of York to act as a route to market for us, we have been approached by their previous customers with requests to manufacture a radiation sensitive product directly. This we will happily do under the name of Gammatex, with a price guarantee that will be a pleasant surprise to former customers. We already have new products in the pipeline, and will be working with current users to bring new innovations in gamma sterilization indicating labels to the marketplace.’ 

AC Labels is a subsidiary of the Mercian Labels Group based in Staffordshire, UK, which has a portfolio of specialist labeling products including LabelLock security seals.
