Antalis has acquired a portfolio of brands from its former supplier Arjowiggins Scotland Limited which entered administration in September this year. The brands include Conqueror, Curious Collection, Keaykolour, Pop’Set and Rives.
Together with the Olin brand, the acquisition ensures the supply of premium fine papers for text & cover, letterheads, textured boards, premium coloured offset, labels and envelopes, for its customers.
Xaiver Jouvet, director, Antalis Group Papers said: “We are happy to provide a long-term future for these iconic brands. We’re already working on relaunching these brands with the support of best-in-class suppliers for a renewed assortment focused on quality and service levels. In the meantime, we have also acquired the vast majority of the remaining finished goods of these brands. This additional stock, on top of the inventory we already have in our warehouses, should allow us to respond to most of our customer demand in the coming months until the transition to new sourcing in Q1 2023. In countries where Antalis or other KPP Group distribution companies are not directly present, we plan to continue making these brands available through a network of distribution partners.”
Alistair McAlinden, managing director at Interpath Advisory and joint administrator said: “We are pleased to have concluded this transaction which safeguards the future of this portfolio of premium fine papers.”
