Accraply acquires Turpins Packaging Group

Accraply has expanded its line of shrink sleeve labeling equipment with the acquisition of Turpins Packaging Group.

Turpins, located in Clacton-on-Sea, England, specializes in the design and manufacture of high-performance shrink sleeve applicators marketed under its Sleevit brand. With a wide range of standard and custom-configured sleeving systems, Turpins sells to a global customer base that spans a broad range of industries.

‘This acquisition strengthens Accraply’s commitment to the shrink sleeve labeling industry and expands our footprint in Europe,’ said Rob Leonard, president of Accraply. ‘The addition of Turpins and the Sleevit brand within the family of Accraply, Graham, Trine and Stanford brands complements our position as a global provider of a complete range of labeling and converting equipment, backed by an extensive service and parts support network.’

Founded 42 years ago, Turpins Packaging, widely known today as Sleevit, was acquired in a management buyout in 2005 by co-owners Edward Woods and Phil Carter.

‘Shrink sleeves can be applied to many different types of containers and products. Our customers come from a wide range of market sectors including food and drink, cosmetic, personal care and pharmaceuticals, as well as many other consumer and industrial product sectors. I am delighted to see the company moving forward with Accraply and Barry-Wehmiller,’ commented Woods.

Accraply, a subsidiary of Barry-Wehmiller Companies, is a manufacturer of pressure-sensitive, roll-fed and shrink sleeve label application systems as well as converting and finishing equipment for the shrink sleeve and flexible packaging markets.
