The Sidel Group acquires Makro labelling
The Sidel Group has acquired Makro labelling to expand its offering in labelling technologies and broaden its reach in key market segments.
Monica Gimre, CEO and President at Sidel, said the company will aim to strengthen its position in labelling solutions and broaden its reach in markets such as wine, spirits, food, home and personal care through the acquisition. Makro’s low- and medium-speed labelling machines will complement the higher speed technologies manufactured by Sidel and integrated in its packaging lines.
Sidel has a labelling plant in Mantova, Italy, where it has advanced its labelling technology, reaching speeds of 90,000 containers per hour.
Simone Marcantoni, Makro Labelling Managing Director, said the company will maintain its full autonomy and continue to operate independently from its current headquarters while exchanging practices and offering a broader portfolio.
Makro’s machines can label up to five items per bottle in cold glue, hot glue, self-adhesive and combination versions. Pairing with Makro offers a key opportunity for both companies.
