The Label Makers, a specialist label manufacturer based in Bradford, UK, has been sold to Spanish printing group Printeos.
The Label Makers was founded by John Webster in 1963 and has been run by his son David Webster since 1989. It specialises in premium quality and highly technical labels for the wine and spirit market, notably gin and whisky.
Printeos is a Spain-based printing group with factories in France, Spain, Portugal, Poland and the Czech Republic.
Following the takeover, David Webster will continue as strategic consultant for the UK printer and Printeos Group. Zenna Parfaniuk, current commercial director, has been appointed as managing director.
Mr Webster commented, ‘It was essential to find a partner who shared the same philosophy and who could take the business forward, and Printeos was the perfect choice.’
Printeos CEO Ignacio Reirís noted, ‘We are delighted to have been chosen by David as the preferred partner to continue developing the company he has built. We could not have chosen a better way to enter the UK label market because of the high quality of The Label Makers’ team, its equipment and its client portfolio. We very much look forward to working with all the members of The Label Makers for the common goal of boosting its development. The Label Makers will retain its management team and its unique brand identity, as well as its investment capability for best adapting to servicing its customers’ needs, in line with the operational autonomy common in the Printeos group.’
