Simon McCouaig, Managing Director and majority shareholder of Fortoak Ltd said ‘Fortoak Ltd is delighted to announce the acquisition of the assets of UK Labels Ltd, a renowned label manufacturer based in Oldbury, established in 1986. UK Labels has garnered an esteemed reputation for exceptional service and quality within the flat sheet and roll label segments with it’s purpose built label manufacturing facility that houses seven label presses with up to six colour print capability.
This strategic transaction marks the second acquisition within a year, following the successful integration of Pad Printers in September of the previous year. It aligns seamlessly with the company’s overarching strategy of fostering organic growth and pursuing strategic acquisitions to facilitate diversification.
UK Labels supports over 300 clients and will maintain its commitment to serving trade-only clients, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary under the name UK Label Converting Ltd, trading as UK Labels, within the Fortoak Ltd umbrella. This strategic move underscores Fortoak’s unwavering dedication to strengthening its market position through calculated expansion and diversification initiatives.
Fortoak Ltd extends a warm welcome to the UK Labels team and its esteemed clients, embracing this opportunity to enhance its capabilities and deliver exceptional value to its growing customer base.’
