CCL Industries acquires Label Connections
CCL Industries has acquired Label Connections, a private UK company based in St. Neots, near Cambridge that designs, manufactures and markets under the PCL brand a range of pre-die cut pressure-sensitive labels in sheet form for use on professional digital printers.
Label Connections will now trade under the Avery UK umbrella but continue to use the PCL brand.
Lesley and David Turner will stay on to run the acquired business reporting to Mark Cooper, vice-president and managing director, Avery Europe & Asia Pacific.
Last year, CCL Industries acquired the Avery Dennison label converting and consumer products business. The Label Connections deal is the first bolt-on acquisition for the Avery segment.
Geoffrey T. Martin, president and chief executive officer of CCL Industries, said: ‘We are pleased to announce this first expansion by acquisition to the Avery business with this interesting extension to our Printable Media product line which we intend to introduce on a global basis.
‘Professional digital printing is the fastest growing sector in the commercial graphic arts market to which we will now bring all the design software, label, materials and printer compatibility know-how from Avery’s long history in desktop digital printing.’
