CCL Industries, manufacturer of speciality label, security and packaging solutions for global corporations, government institutions, small businesses and consumers, has acquired a UK direct-to-consumer online digital business for its Avery business.
Easy2Name Limited (E2N) is a privately-owned company based near Newbury. Founded in 2000, it manufactures durable, personalised kids’ labels for the UK market, notching up sales of almost £1.6 million in 2018.
Geoffrey T Martin, CCL president and chief executive officer, commented, ‘This is the seventh bolt-on acquisition we have made since acquiring Avery in 2013, as we continue to build our rapidly growing portfolio of web-to-print technologies and brands using software and related supplies. The addition of E2N complements similar end-use propositions already present in our global portfolio of brands.’
The company also confirmed that it has completed the previously announced acquisitions of Olympic Holding BV and its related subsidiaries, in the Netherlands, and the assets of Unilogo, in Poland. The acquisition of Hinsitsu Screen (Vietnam) Company Limited is expected to close later in the first quarter of 2019.
