First Atlantic Capital, Ltd., a private investment firm specializing in acquiring and growing mid-size companies, today announced that its portfolio company, Resource Label Group, LLC, a pressure sensitive label manufacturer primarily for the packaging industry, has acquired Pamco Printed Tape & Label Co., Inc., a manufacturer of pressure sensitive labels serving consumer nondurable markets such as food and beverage, health and beauty, confection, and household products.

William Burch, Chief Executive Officer of Resource Label, said in a statement: “The acquisition of Pamco furthers our objective of becoming the premier one-stop shop for all of our customers’ pressure sensitive label printing needs. Pamco will help us expand our product offerings and better position us to solve our customers’ most complex service and application requests. Additionally, we plan to capitalize on Pamco’s strong position in the markets they serve, and I look forward to working closely with Michael and the rest of his senior management team in pursuit of these goals.”
