Leading law firm, Schofield Sweeney, has advised Olympus Print Group on its acquisition by All4Labels Global Packaging Group.

Leeds-based Olympus Print Group, one of the leading label manufacturers in the United Kingdom, will become the first subsidiary of All4Labels in the UK.

Olympus Print Group produces labels for a range of markets, with a focus on personal care as well as the wine and spirits and beer industry. The former owners will become co-shareholders of the All4Labels Group and will continue to manage the business.

Martin Sweeney, Partner, Schofield Sweeney said “Both businesses have created strong brands that clients trust. The partnership is the perfect vehicle to drive further national and international growth and success, I wish them all the very best.”

The acquisition marks the beginning of our strategy to build a leading business unit in the United Kingdom through investments in organic and acquisitive growth. Along with our leadership team, I look forward to working with the Olympus Print Group team on our joint growth and success for many years to come.”

Steve Cartwright, director at Olympus Print Group, said “After 28 years of building the Olympus brand, we are proud of our reputation for technical expertise, high quality and strong focus on customer service. The decision to join a partnership with a global, likeminded and innovative packaging group was made easy as All4Labels shares the same strong values as Olympus Print Group. The full senior management team and employees look forward to working with All4Labels in the future.”

The new partnership with Olympus Print Group is the fifth successful acquisition by the All4Labels Group within the last twelve months, underlining All4Labels sustainable investments into growth and expansion in a global context.
