ABpac Limited, headquartered in Wincanton, England, is the largest bakery packaging distributor in the UK. Known for its specialist offering and strong infrastructure, ABpac has built a platform designed for growth through strategic acquisitions. The addition of Marshall Wilson strengthens the group’s reach across the UK and enhances its presence north of the border, particularly in the butchery sector.

The transaction allows the shareholders of Marshall Wilson to begin planning for retirement with confidence, while ensuring the business continues to thrive under the leadership of a complementary and experienced industry player. For ABpac, the deal supports its expansion strategy, adding a well-respected brand and established depot in a key geographic location.

Benchmark International played a pivotal role in managing the transaction from initial engagement through to completion. The team provided strategic guidance throughout, facilitating negotiations, maintaining momentum, and aligning expectations across all stakeholders.
