Approaching leadership position in the label industry in Spain with the acquisition of Grupo Ezquerro

Grupo Ezquerro

We are proud to announce that Grupo Ezquerro, a 4 production site company with over 50 years of experience in premium adhesive labels, wet glue labels and folding carton, has officially joined the Asteria Group.

This acquisition marks a strategic step forward in Asteria’s mission to become Europe’s leading group for quality, agility, and sustainable innovation in the labelling industry — and brings immediate value to our customers across Europe.

 

 

A legacy of excellence in premium packaging

Grupo Ezquerro composed out of Adhesivos Ezquerro, Graficas Ezquerro, Labelgrafic and Cartalvi has earned its reputation through decades of dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and customer care. The company is particularly well known in high-value sectors like:

  • Wine and spirits — where label design is a key element of brand storytelling
  • Cosmetics and personal care — where precision, beauty, and finish must work in harmony
  • Gourmet and specialty foods — where presentation is closely tied to perceived product value

Grupo Ezquerro’s technical expertise in offset, flexo and combination printing, paired with refined finishing techniques and in-house design support, makes them a trusted partner for brands that expect more from their packaging.

 

Strategic Alignment with Asteria’s Vision

This acquisition is not just about expanding into Spain — it’s about deepening Asteria’s capabilities in areas that matter most to today’s market:

  • High-end, design-driven packaging
    Grupo Ezquerro’s experience in delivering visually stunning, technically precise labels fits perfectly into Asteria’s growing portfolio of premium labelling solutions. This strengthens our offering for customers who need both artistry and performance.
  • Sector-specific excellence
    With a long-standing footprint in the wine and cosmetic industries, Ezquerro brings valuable market insights and production expertise that can now be shared across the group — scaling our solutions across our entire group.
  • Sustainable, scalable production
    Ezquerro’s focus on efficiency and innovation supports our ambition to help clients reduce waste, use smarter materials, and prepare for future regulatory standards, without compromising on shelf appeal.

What This Means for Asteria Customers

For our clients across Europe, this move brings immediate, tangible benefits:

  • Broader access to premium label production
    Whether it’s hot foil stamping, embossed textures, or specialty finishes, our network includes expanded capabilities for visually striking, brand-defining packaging.
  • Expanded capacity for offset, flexo, digital and combination printing
    Grupo Ezquerro’s technology and know-how allow us to produce complex label solutions that blend speed, detail, and durability, ideal for premium brands with high standards.
  • Local expertise in a key market
    Asteria’s entities in Spain are now even better positioned to serve Iberian clients with local expertise — backed by the full strength and scale of a pan-European group.


Growing with purpose

As we continue to expand across Europe, we do so with intention: each acquisition, each new partnership, and each site added to the Asteria Group reflects a strategic decision to increase the value we bring to our customers.

Grupo Ezquerro embodies the kind of expertise, quality, and care that defines our group. Their legacy strengthens our own — and their capabilities will help shape the future of high-impact packaging across multiple industries.

We’re excited to welcome the talented team at Grupo Ezquerro into the Asteria family, and we look forward to all we’ll achieve together.
