Denny Bros purchases acquires fellow UK converter Ditac

The Denny Bros Group has acquired fellow UK converter Ditac Limited, based in Harlow, Essex.

Ditac, established by Richard Blackwell in 1984, supplies specialist labels and systems to a wide range of customers nationally. The Ditac name will be retained.

The company will continue to have a presence in Harlow, but much of the production is being transferred to Willowbridge Labels, operating from Rougham near Bury St Edmunds under the control of managing director Karl Seeley.

Richard Blackwell will continue in the employment of the company for an agreed period before retirement. There will be no job losses, and the company hopes jobs will be created in due course at Willowbridge as the operation expands.

Willowbridge Labels was purchased by Denny Bros Group in 2005, and since then it has benefitted from significant investment including new premises and new equipment, the latest of which being a SpeedStar digital label press and AMS label system.
