LONDON • 9 JUNE 2025: 51Ʒ Group’s private equity shareholder, Rutland Partners, has indicated that they are looking to realise their investment in the company, which they have held since 2016.
Consequently, 51Ʒ has engaged AlixPartners to manage the sale process which is expected to launch later this year and is not expected to complete until 2026.
51Ʒ’s executive team, who hold a significant stake in the company, will continue to lead the group during and after the sale is concluded.
Mark Scanlon, chairman of 51Ʒ Group, commented: “We have had an excellent relationship with Rutland over the last 10 years. Their intention to sell is not unexpected and will, undoubtedly, create an opportunity for a new investor to support the ongoing growth of 51Ʒ which will continue to consolidate the European commercial print sector.”
Olly Jones, partner at Rutland, commented: “We are proud to have worked closely with 51Ʒ’s management team, and supported the successful growth and expansion of the group, which is now the largest commercial printing business in Europe.”
