ADELPHI Masterfil Limited has completed the acquisition of Karmelle Limited, the Huddersfield-based specialist in liquid filling, capping and labelling.
Karmelle now joins the Adelphi group of companies, a family-owned manufacturer and supplier of packaging machinery and equipment headquartered in West Sussex.
Adelphi said the acquisition reflects its commitment to delivering the ‘very best in British engineering and customer service’. Part of the Adelphi Group since 2007, Adelphi Masterfil designs and manufactures liquid filling and capping machinery, as well as complete turnkey production line management for full-scale manufacturing. The company is known for its Masterfil range of filling machines and Mastercap capping machines.
The sale of Karmelle follows the planned retirement of its previous owners, who sought a partner committed to preserving the company’s legacy. The transition has included Karmelle relocating to Adelphi’s Huddersfield manufacturing site. Karmelle’s former owners are working with the Adelphi team to ensure a ‘seamless transition’ for employees, customers and ongoing projects, with ‘uninterrupted service’.
Chris Wilson, MD of Adelphi Group, said, “Karmelle’s acquisition marks a significant milestone for the Adelphi Group. Adelphi Masterfil and Karmelle share a deep commitment to UK manufacturing excellence, engineering innovation, reliability, and long-standing customer partnerships.
“By bringing the teams and technologies together, Adelphi and Karmelle will offer customers more comprehensive, end-to-end solutions, while continuing to uphold the service excellence, responsiveness, and engineering integrity our customers value. We are delighted to welcome Karmelle into the Adelphi family.”
Peter Krawczuk, a former owner of Karmelle, added, “We are pleased that Karmelle has joined the Adelphi Group. Both companies share a passion for UK manufacturing, sustainable engineering and building trusted, long-term customer relationships. We know customers will value the continuity of the same great people, products and support, now under a single, stronger brand.
“We look forward to building a better future together by uniting decades of expertise and continuing our shared commitment to strong British manufacturing.”
