THE Label Makers has completed the acquisition of Redcar-based First Choice Labels.
The move, which brings together two specialists in the self-adhesive label market, is tipped to provide increased capacity, expertise, and service flexibility for customers across both businesses.
First Choice Labels will retain its name and brand identity and continue operations from its Redcar site, with all staff remaining in post. As part of the transition, Colin Harbinson, who has been with First Choice Labels for over 19 years, has been promoted to operations director.
“I am immensely proud to take on this new role as our two businesses come together,” he said. “First Choice Labels has always been committed to delivering excellent products and service and it’s clear that The Label Makers shares those same values. Joining forces allows us to strengthen what we already do well, and I look forward to working closely with both teams to drive continued quality and innovation.”
Zenna Parfaniuk, MD of The Label Makers, added, “First Choice Labels is a natural complement to our business. Their dedication to quality, customer service and long-standing client relationships mirrors our own approach, making this an excellent cultural and strategic fit. Together, we can offer an even broader range of self-adhesive solutions while maintaining the premium standards our customers expect. We are delighted to welcome the First Choice team into the wider organisation.”
