Industry: Distribution – Custom Packaging and Promotional Materials

Location: Kansas City, Kansas

Seller: Atlas Labels & Packaging

Buyer: ALP Holdings

The DVS Group’s Role: Sell-Side Advisory

The Deal:
The owner of Atlas Labels & Packaging engaged The DVS Group to assist with the sale of the business, which serves over 500 craft brewers, wineries, distilleries, and specialty food and beverage producers nationwide. The DVS Group facilitated an introduction to a St. Louis-based holding company, ALP Holdings, which ultimately acquired the business. While the seller, an attorney, managed many aspects of the transaction independently, The DVS Group provided advisory support throughout due diligence and negotiations, helping align both parties’ objectives and guide the process to a successful close.

Client Testimonial:
“Kevin helped me understand the buyer’s objectives. He facilitated the conversations. That was very helpful. He gave me good advice. As with the acquisition, I was a relatively hands-off client and they’re generally a hands-on firm, but DVS adapted to my style very well.”
