Adams Label grows wine estate with LabelOne Connect

Adams Label Company is a new entity that is focused on acquisitions of wine, spirits and beverage label printing companies. In the immediate future it has an aggressive plan to strategically align and make acquisitions within the key wine regions of the US. LabelOne Connect is Adam Label Company’s first acquisition.

Adams Label Company is part of Adams Wine Group, which was established in 1997 and is a vertically integrated sales and marketing company operating in the wine market. It includes Adler Fels Winery, Pack n Ship Direct, Sonoma Estate Vintners, Vinesse and Adams Label Company.

LabelOne Connect, family owned and operated by Wilfredo and Ardie Rabanal, was founded in 1983 and has built a reputation for high-quality wine label printing and strong relationships with long-standing winery customers.

This acquisition will support Adams Label Company’s business plan to acquire companies that strengthen its position in the market and provide additional geographic footprint in the industry.

David Bowyer, chief executive officer of Adams Label Company, said: ‘LabelOne Connect is complementary to our company not only from a regional perspective but to create new growth opportunities for the Adams Wine Group with world-class wine label printing. Its printing capabilities pair well with other eminent acquisitions that Adams Label Company has targeted in the near future. LabelOne Connect associates will benefit as a result of the strength of Adams Label Company’s structure and focused investments.

‘Customers will benefit due to expanded capabilities that Adams Label Company has in addition to the outstanding quality, responsiveness and service which has been consistently demonstrated by LabelOne Connect.’

Formerly Dana Labels before it changed its name to LabelOne Connect, it was one of the first companies to print pressure-sensitive wine labels.

Wilfredo Rabanal said: ‘The decision to sell LabelOne Connect was a strategic effort to continue growing the business and ultimately provide a successful outlet for Adams Label Company to service the north-west wine industry.’
