Camelot revenue rises 31.5% as flexo printing leads growth in FY2026

GHANA – Camelot has reported total revenue of GH¢36.97 million (US$3.57 million) in FY2026, representing 31.5 percent year-on-year growth driven primarily by rapid expansion in flexographic label printing, which surged 321 percent.

Management attributed the overall revenue increase to exceptional performance in the flexographic label printing division, which recorded growth of 321 percent during the period.

This surge positioned flexo as the company’s leading packaging segment, reflecting rising demand for printed labels across Ghana’s food, beverage, pharmaceutical and consumer goods sectors. 

The expansion suggests growing adoption of flexographic technology as brands seek cost-effective, high-quality label solutions produced locally rather than imported.

Revenue Growth Outpaces Broader Market Trends

The 31.5 percent year-on-year revenue increase exceeds typical growth rates for West African printing and packaging firms, indicating Camelot captured market share alongside benefiting from sector-wide demand. 

Currency movements may have influenced reported figures, as Ghana’s cedi has experienced volatility against major trading currencies in recent years, affecting both input costs and export competitiveness. 

Companies in the sector have navigated fluctuating substrate prices, ink costs and freight expenses tied to imported materials.

Label Demand Tracks Consumer Goods Expansion

Growth in flexographic label printing typically correlates with increased activity in fast-moving consumer goods, where product launches, packaging refreshes and regulatory labelling requirements drive recurring demand. 

Ghana’s consumer market has expanded alongside urbanisation and rising disposable incomes, supporting new product introductions across beverages, personal care and packaged foods. 

Pharmaceutical labelling requirements have also tightened, creating additional volume for compliant label producers. 

Local printing capacity reduces lead times and logistics costs compared with imported labels, a competitive advantage as brands seek supply chain resilience.

Capital Investment Likely Underpins Capacity

Sustaining 321 percent growth in flexo printing generally requires investment in presses, plate-making equipment and finishing capabilities. 

Companies achieving such expansion often reinvest earnings into additional capacity to serve growing order books. 

Camelot’s performance may encourage further capital deployment across Ghana’s printing sector, where modern flexographic equipment enables shorter runs, faster changeovers and improved print quality relative to older technologies. 

The segment’s trajectory also reflects broader African packaging industry trends, where local converters are capturing value previously lost to imports. 

With revenue reaching GH¢36.97 million (US$3.57 million), Camelot’s results demonstrate that specialised printing capabilities can deliver outsized returns within emerging African markets, particularly when aligned with expanding consumer goods sectors. 

Future growth will depend on maintaining equipment utilisation, securing consistent substrate supply and retaining skilled operators trained on modern flexographic systems.
