Harbour Investment

Aventis advised Omeko on its sale to Harbour Investment, a German family office specializing in the paper industry. Omeko, with over 25 years of experience, is a leading Central European manufacturer of cash register rolls and labels serving major retail chains in the region.

Background

Founded in 1981, Omeko has grown to become the #1 manufacturer of cash register rolls and a leading player in self-adhesive labels in the region. Based in Krakow, the company exports its products to the Nordics, France, Germany, and more.

With a leading position in the Central and Eastern European markets, Omeko’s shareholders decided to explore a potential sale of the company. The company’s position on the market and strong competitive base attracted interest from a number of strategic investors.

The Challenge

Finding the right strategic partner was key. The goal was to identify an investor who could:

• Support Omeko’s market-leading position
• Provide resources for continued growth
• Align with Omeko’s strategic vision

Transaction

Our team at Aventis Advisors acted as an exclusive financial advisor to Omeko, providing comprehensive support throughout the transaction process. Leveraging our financial and industry expertise, we:

• Designed and executed a competitive sales process
• Attracted interest from a diverse pool of strategic investors
• Secured and evaluated multiple indicative offers
• Negotiated Letters of Intent that balanced financial value with strategic alignment
• Provided hands-on support during due diligence
• Facilitated a smooth closing process

We prioritized finding a partner that offered both financial value and strategic alignment with Omeko’s vision.

Outcome

In March 2022, Omeko was acquired by Harbour Investment and will be integrated into Schades – R+S Group, the largest group of point-of-sale (POS) and label manufacturers in Europe. Maciej Dworzański, CEO and co-owner of Omeko, joined Schades – R+S Group as Group CFO.

Looking Ahead

The partnership with Schades – R+S Group positions Omeko to:

• Strengthen its market leadership
• Expand its presence across Europe
• Continue delivering high-quality products to its clients

Why should you partner with an M&A advisor?

Selling a business services company involves more than just negotiating a price—it’s about finding the right buyer, maximizing value, and ensuring a seamless process. M&A advisors bring deep industry expertise, manage complex workstreams, and position your business to attract competitive offers.

While you focus on running your company, M&A advisors handle the negotiations, due diligence, and strategy, ensuring no detail is overlooked. The M&A advisor’s success aligns with yours, often making a significant impact on the final deal value and outcome.
