Design Group’s story begins in 1979, when Scandinavian Design was founded to design, manufacture and supply gift wrap to retail and wholesale customers. After rapid growth, we rebranded as International Greetings in 1989 to reflect our evolution into an international business.
As the Group grew, companies including Belgrave Graphics, Hy-Sil Massachusetts and Britesparks joined, before International Greetings Plc floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1995.
Through mergers and acquisitions and organic growth, International Greetings plc continued to grow, with group businesses spread across the globe.
