19 May 2008 All Purpose Packaging acquired by the Zeus Packaging Group

We wish to inform you that All Purpose Packaging has been acquired by the Zeus Packaging Group, the rapidly expanding Group of Packaging Distributors and Label Printer.

All Purpose Packaging have always been proud of their place in the packaging market, and in their ability to offer their customers an excellent service and quality products at competitive prices. We see that becoming part of the Zeus Packaging Group will further enhance our reputation and will enable us to offer our customers a wider range of products as well as the benefits of global sourcing.

Zeus Packaging, already the market leader in Ireland and probably the fastest growing in Europe, has annual sales of over €80 million in the 3 main market areas of food, industrial and retail packaging. Zeus already has substantial sales in the UK and the purchase of All Purpose Packaging is part of the strategic plan to develop the group as a major packaging and label supplier.

We would like to take this opportunity to reassure you that we will continue to provide our well renowned service and should you wish to discuss these developments we will be pleased to do so.
