Duplo International Acquires Bar Graphic Machinery to Expand Finishing Capabilities in Labels and Packaging

Duplo International has announced the strategic acquisition of Bar Graphic Machinery (BGM), a UK-based manufacturer of finishing equipment for the label and flexible packaging sectors. The acquisition is a significant move for Duplo as it broadens its footprint beyond commercial print into the fast-growing packaging and label markets. BGM will continue to operate independently under its existing management team, with added support from Duplo’s international infrastructure.

Known for its innovation in digital finishing solutions, Duplo says this acquisition is an opportunity to diversify its product portfolio and deliver integrated solutions to new markets. BGM’s expertise in converting and finishing machinery for roll-to-roll and roll-to-sheet applications aligns with Duplo’s focus on automation, precision, and ease of use. “This partnership allows both companies to leverage their strengths and bring even more value to customers,” said Peter Jolly, Managing Director at Duplo International.

The acquisition supports Duplo’s broader strategy of growth through innovation and market diversification. As demand for short-run, high-value packaging and label production rises, the combined strengths of Duplo and BGM will enable scalable, efficient solutions for converters and print service providers. The move positions Duplo to capitalize on evolving customer needs across both commercial and industrial segments.
