Matlaw buy ups Scott turnover

摘要

Scott Group, the packaging and pallets specialist, has snapped up yet another company, Marlaw Pallets, and added £28m to its turnover. The group, based in Rosyth, Fife, said the deal "reinforced" its move into the packaging sector and was its 27th acquisi-tion since 1998, including the purchase of Manchester-based rival Henry Sutcliffe a month ago. Managing director John Scott said: "Taking on Marlaw will see us continue to diversify and pursue strong growth in areas like packaging and reconditioned pallets."
