Scarborough-based packaging and stationery business, Duraweld, is expanding with the acquisition of Bradford based Prima which also provides creative packaging solutions.
Founded in 1959, Duraweld designs and manufactures a wide range of packaging and stationery products for customers from the NHS to the FA, working across sectors such as healthcare and retail. Led by managing director Mark Yeung, it has a purpose-built factory which includes in-house screen printing, digital printing, inline paper over board wrapping, high-frequency welding, sonic welding, digital and hydraulic cutting, foil-blocking and embossing. The company employs around 50 people.
With over 20 years’ experience, Prima has established a reputation as a leading designer and manufacturer of quality folding card and PVC high frequency welded products. Its products range from printed and plain folding cartons, corrugated cartons and point-of-sale folders and pockets, through to ring binders, PVC pockets and paper over-board boxes and folders. Its clients include retailers, educational institutions, councils and the NHS.
Duraweld has acquired the business and assets of Prima for an undisclosed sum.
Mark Yeung, managing director of Duraweld, said:
“As a market leader in customised stationery and packaging, Prima further extends our range of products, enabling us to continue to expand the business. In such a competitive sector, it’s vital to keep looking to the future and planning for growth – the acquisition of Prima will make a significant contribution to our business, adding to our skilled team and building on the solid foundations we have established."
Duraweld say:
"The merger of two bespoke packaging and stationery companies Duraweld and Prima Yorkshire benefits all our customers by providing access to a larger range of high-quality products. Our combined expertise, creativity, and passion for design, the experience of both companies means consumers can benefit from greater selection, competitive prices, and more innovative designs.
We couldn’t be happier with the news, and we’re excited to share it with all customers both new and old.
With the retirement of Andrew and Richard at Prima, Duraweld could not turn down the opportunity to merge with such a successful well known and respected operation like Prima. With Richard and Andrew supporting the transition over the coming months and Jon Simms continuing to work with Duraweld we can be certain of a bright, productive future."
