The Labelys group, which specialises in the printing of adhesive labels, comes under the control of its management. Grégoire Desmettre and Julien de Swaan, respectively President and Deputy Managing Director of Labelys, now own the majority of the company's capital with the help of EMZ, the new shareholder, and Bpifrance, the historical shareholder.
Grégoire Desmettre and Julien de Swaan wish to pursue their ambitions for external growth in France and Europe and to position the group as a benchmark player at the European level. The two managers intend to double Labelys' activity over the next few years.
A new printer in the Labelys group
To this end, they have just signed the acquisition of the Spanish company Satergraf, located in Terrassa and specialising in the manufacture of technical adhesive labels and the printing of shrink sleeves. "This acquisition will enable the group to accelerate its development in Southern Europe with a first-class industrial and technological tool" indicates the group.
50 million euros in turnover and eight production sites
Labelys now has 300 employees and eight production sites - five in France with Etiqroll in Tours, APE Etiquette in Poitiers, Gigault in Angers, Label Pack in Lyon and Nacara in Cognac, two in Switzerland with Eticolle and one in Spain. The group, which offers a wide range of products including labels with technical specificities (multi-sheet/book-labels, anti-counterfeiting labels, variability, etc.) and finishing processes (gilding, technical varnishes, swelling varnishes, embossing, scented inks, etc.), has a turnover of 50 million euros in the wine and spirits, cosmetics, industry, health and food markets.
