CCS McLays has completed the successful acquisition of a controlling interest in the leading UK-based manufacturer of paper bags and products, Dempson, based in Maidstone, Kent.
This latest acquisition marks a significant milestone in CCS McLays’ ambitious growth strategy, creating a powerful combination of end-to-end consumables provision and strengthened presence in the food and retail packaging sectors. CCS McLays aims to double the capacity and sales at Dempson whilst taking the overall CCS McLays group from turnover of ~£100m to £150m within three years.
Both companies are already collaborating successfully, with Dempson remaining autonomous within the CCS Group. Dempson’s Managing Director, Jon Katzauer, will carry on in his role (as a shareholder) to oversee the Dempson operation. The members of the Dempson team will remain in their positions, ensuring continued seamless customer service as the integration takes place. The company has plans to increase resources to support its growing customer base, investing in new machines and hiring additional highly skilled operatives.
