B H Matthews Group has purchased Harland Group from Sonoco Corporation. The deal includes Sonoco Machine Division (SMD), the pressure-sensitive labelling machinery business.
SMD will now operate as Harland Machine Systems, the name it used before Sonoco Corp bought Harland Group four years ago.
Harland Machine Systems had been up for sale for a year before B H Matthews stepped in. Jim Potter, Harland Machine Systems managing director, seemed pleased they had.
