Prometheus Retail Solutions, a leader in custom displays and in-store marketing, has announced the acquisition of PackagingARTS’ value-added packaging and retail display division. Founded in 1995, PackagingARTS is a creative partner known for its premium packaging solutions for the wine, spirits, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) sectors.
This strategic acquisition combines PackagingARTS’ award-winning design legacy with Prometheus Retail Solutions’ end-to-end capabilities, which encompass design, engineering, manufacturing, and fulfillment. This is particularly impactful in a crowded market, where a strong retail presence is crucial for success. For wine, spirits, and luxury CPG brands, making a strong first impression is essential to connecting with customers. This partnership gives these brands a fresh and powerful way to tell their story and stand out on the retail shelf.
PackagingARTS, founded on Mare Island, California, has earned significant industry acclaim for its high-touch design, custom embellishments, and in-depth category expertise. For nearly three decades, the company has been a creative cornerstone in the wine and spirits industry, serving a diverse client list that ranges from boutique wineries to global brands. By combining these strengths, Prometheus Retail Solutions can now offer a more comprehensive suite of services that leverages the strengths of both companies.
The newly combined company is better positioned to help clients create an impactful retail presence that goes beyond the noise of traditional marketing. The integration of PackagingARTS’ specialized design skills with Prometheus’ robust manufacturing and fulfillment network will provide a single, unified solution for brands looking to enhance their in-store presence and captivate consumers. This acquisition is a testament to Prometheus’ commitment to providing innovative solutions that help its clients thrive in a competitive retail landscape.
