Crowe has successfully advised the shareholders of Duncan Print Group Limited (Duncan Print), a specialist packaging company, on their sale to Carton Group, an international packaging group with headquarters based in Schwabach, Germany, owned by investment firm Waterland.
Duncan Print was founded in 1889 and serves clients ranging from start-ups to design agencies and blue-chip companies across the health, beauty, personal care, and food and beverage sectors, with an emphasis on promotional products.
Crowe acted as lead advisor to the shareholders of Duncan Print, with the team led by Geert Struyven and Harry Phipps.
“Having spent my life growing the family business, it was important that any potential transaction supported the tradition of quality and the spirit of innovation of the business. The Crowe team were able to communicate this to several interested parties, which created a competitive environment. I recommend Crowe to anyone considering the strategic options for their business – I couldn’t have done it without them.”
Bill Duncan, Chairman, Duncan Print Group
“I enjoyed working with Crowe and was impressed by their introduction to Carton Group, who share the same passion for quality as we do at Duncan Print. Crowe’s proactive support and advice throughout the process was invaluable.”
James Duncan, Managing Director, Duncan Print Group
