The addition of SC Etiketten further strengthens the position the group as one of the leading labels and flexible packaging players in Europe.

SC Etiketten has shown strong growth over the past years through its focus on high quality, reliability, and flexibility. In recent years, the company has also invested in additional printing capacity and expanded its organization.

‘SC Etiketten has developed well in recent years in which we have achieved significant growth, based on a strong and dedicated team of employees and by investing in more capacity,’ said Ralf Christoffer, managing director of SC Etiketten.

The current management of SC Etiketten will remain in place within the organization. By joining the group, the German converter will benefit from increased capacity, a wider range of self-adhesive labels and flexible packaging products, and increased supply reliability.
