All4Labels Group

Two young entrepreneurs take over a small label company and look for an investor to realize their vision. 

The success story of X-label (now All4Labels) began in 1996. Five years after the company was founded, Tim Fiedler and Jan Oberbeck became managing partners and took Jens Schürfeld on board as an investor. Only a short time later, X-label is one of the leading manufacturers of adhesive labels in Europe. This was followed in 2016 by the merger with Baumgarten and RAKO to form the All4Labels Group. This makes the company a global market leader with annual sales of over 500 million euros. In 2019, the sale of the majority shares to the financial investor Triton will take place. The Schürfeld Group continues to be actively represented on the advisory board as a minority shareholder.
