Scotland: the discerning choice over other European locations
The firm discovered stiff competition when weighing up other European locations such as England and Ireland. Scotland gone through on the strength of its brilliantly-connected and time-served spirits industry knowledge and expertise.
Europstampa holds family values that are key to a sense of belonging. Founded in 1966 by CEO, Luciano Cillario, who still works in the company with his three sons, the firm will remain 100% family owned for the next 20 years. This succession planning is the bedrock of the business to achieve stability across its operation, employees and customers – a strategy underpinned by service excellence and quality.
The new Cumbernauld facility will be double the size of the labelling firm’s existing premises in Glasgow, located centrally with easy access to Scotland’s transport networks and distilleries throughout the country and globally.
Steven adds: “The Italian owners’ investment into Scotland is a remarkable story. Not only is Eurostampa committed to growing its operation on a global scale, investing in Scotland is the company’s single biggest financial commitment in its 50 year history. As part of our business strategy, the family reinvests 90% of profits into the company annually.
The perfect blend: Team Scotland partner support
Steven believes that Eurostampa’s vote of confidence in Scotland is a testament to its customers and employees, backed by a £2.5 million Scottish Enterprise grant and support. It invested this towards new technology and equipment and in further developing its apprenticeship programme.
Eurostampa received further support from Team Scotland partners, including Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service (SMAS) that helped to secure data to ensure its factory layout was correctly configured.
With an ambitious vision to train new and upskill existing talent, Skills Development Scotland (SDS) assisted the company to develop and run is training programmes.
In June 2023, Adrian Gillespie, CEO of Scottish Enterprise and Shona Robison, Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government, visited Eurostampa to unveil its state-of-the-art facility in Cumbernauld.
