3A Manufacturing Sold to Ferguson Company Investments

Kings Corporate is delighted to announce the successful sale of 3A Manufacturing Ltd, a well-established protective packaging business based in Dorset, to Ferguson Company Investments Ltd.

Based in Wimborne, the business is known for its expertise in the design and production of bubble bags, bubble wrap, and foam packaging. 3A Manufacturing has earned a strong reputation across multiple sectors including aerospace, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and horticulture.

With a wide range of bespoke capabilities, a loyal client base and a user-friendly e-commerce platform, the business attracted significant interest. Its ability to produce custom packaging solutions and its commitment to high-quality manufacturing processes made it a highly desirable acquisition.

The business provides excellent manufacturing and distribution facilities, with modern infrastructure, efficient production space and strong transport links across the South of England. This, coupled with the business’s strong financial standing and established brand, made the acquisition a strategic and well-timed move.

With the client looking to retire, Oliver Edwards, Sales Negotiator at Kings Corporate, identified the ideal buyer in Ferguson Company Investments Ltd. The buyer recognised the opportunity to build upon the solid foundations and explore further product development, digital marketing strategies, and operational expansion. The business was sold just 6 weeks from agreement to completion.

Oliver said: “It was a pleasure to work with both parties on this transaction. The seller has built a respected and resilient business, and I’m confident the buyer will take it to new heights. We wish them every success as they move forward.”
