Duplo is pleased to announce the acquisition of Bar Graphic Machinery (BGM), a leading UK-based manufacturer of high-performance finishing equipment for the labels and packaging industry.
This strategic move marks Duplo’s entry into the fast-growing labels sector, further expanding its global capabilities across adjacent print markets.
Importantly, Duplo and BGM will continue to operate as separate, independent businesses. Duplo remains fully committed to its core focus: delivering world-class digital print finishing solutions for the office and graphic arts sectors. BGM will continue to serve the labels market under its established brand, leadership, and operational structure – now with the added strength and backing of the Duplo Group.
The BGM brand will remain unchanged and will operate as an autonomous division within the Duplo Group. A new Managing Director for BGM will be appointed in due course. In the near term, Duplo’s focus will be on working closely with the BGM team to listen, learn, and understand the business from within – setting the stage for a collaborative long-term strategy.
This acquisition reflects Duplo’s broader ambition to invest in complementary sectors and partner with businesses that share its commitment to quality, innovation, and long-term customer value.
