ZEUS Packaging has completed the acquisition of Swanline Group and its sister company, BoxMart.
The development has been described as representing a ‘huge opportunity’ for all three parties, with each company providing ‘complementary’ services to a range of markets.
Zeus Packaging was established in 1998. The firm manufactures a range of packaging products and sundries. Swanline is a trade-only supplier of paper-based materials, print and conversion services to the packaging and point-of-sale sectors. BoxMart is a packaging supplier offering postal, gift and hamper boxes via an online store, and providing printed and bespoke packaging via a tailored packaging services offering.
Swanline CEO Nick Kirby said, “We’re very much looking forward to joining together with Zeus as they, as a company, hold such similar values to us. We’re passionate about sustainability, and proud of our plastic free portfolio of materials. We want to make it clear to all our stakeholders and customers that there will be absolutely no change in how we operate here at Swanline, it will be business as usual.”
Jo Offord, MD of BoxMart, added, “This is an exciting moment for BoxMart. Our creative bespoke packaging services and online shop for stock packaging products will dovetail perfectly with Zeus Packaging’s own range of services and products. Customers will still enjoy the great customer service and award-winning packaging we are renowned for, whilst knowing we are part of a global business with a culture that matches our own.”
