At the recent Propak Africa 2025, Bidvest unveiled the launch of Bidvest Labels, a move that cements its position as a leader in the labelling sector. The new entity brings together Rotolabel, S&N Labels and Spec Systems, following the recent acquisition of Spec Systems, a respected specialist in labelling, barcoding and thermal transfer ribbons.
Speaking at the event, Colin Adendorff, CEO of Bidvest Data, Print & Packaging, emphasised the importance of this consolidation: “The formation of Bidvest Labels represents a strategic step forward in our commitment to delivering cutting-edge labelling solutions. By uniting these three companies, we have created one of the largest label businesses in South Africa, offering a national footprint, an extensive product range and a single point of contact for all labelling needs.”
The acquisition of Spec Systems strengthens Bidvest’s capabilities, allowing the company to offer expanded technical expertise, enhanced product innovation, and seamless nationwide service delivery. With over 32 years of experience, Spec Systems brings valuable industry knowledge and customer-focused solutions that align with Bidvest’s commitment to quality and innovation.
Bidvest Labels showcased its high-quality product labels for the food, wine, pharmaceutical and hygiene sectors, as well as functional labelling solutions, including price-marking and thermal transfer systems.
