Surteco Group

After the Second World War, production at the Bausch company (now Surteco) came to a standstill. Gustav Schürfeld was able to restart it. A partnership began.

In 1799, a papermaking mill was built in Neu Kaliß, Mecklenburg. This becomes a company for the chemical refinement of specialty papers. Annual sales of over 900 million euros and almost 4,000 employees worldwide: In the meantime, SURTECO has become a global player in the production of decorative surfaces and technical profiles for the furniture, caravan and boat building industries. The Schürfeld Group accompanies the success story on the Supervisory Board and as the largest single shareholder in the controlling share pool.

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. Thanks to a consistent buy-and-build-strategy, the Group has developed into a global market leader with over 60 plants and 6,000 employees and generates an annual turnover of EUR 1 billion. 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.
