Terug naar overzicht
Four Strong Brands – Globally Established and Stronger Together
The four companies, who will be presenting together in Barcelona under the ALDUS™ brand, all operate globally within their respective segments and are internationally recognised as specialists:
API Transfer Technologies
Global manufacturer and distributor of high-quality hot and cold transfer foils for decorative and functional applications. The company focuses on its broad spectrum of transfer solutions for conventional and digital printing technologies, including toner and inkjet applications. The new brand identity, resulting from the integration of several companies in 2024, will also be unveiled in Barcelona.
Paragon Inks
An industry leader in the development and production of UV and LED curable inks, coatings and cold foil adhesives for the label and packaging industry. The company is renowned for its customer-focused product development and long-standing partnerships with clients worldwide.
Starfoil Technology
Specialist in hot stamping and die-cutting machines as well as slitting, spooling, and cutting systems. Starfoil provides robust, customisable machine solutions for demanding industrial finishing processes – from small batches to high-volume production.
Newfoil Machines
World leader in roll-fed hot foil embossing and finishing machines. Newfoil’s machines allow precise embossing, cutting, and converting – specifically for high-quality label products. As a division of Starfoil Technology Netherlands BV, Newfoil is synonymous with long-standing innovation leadership.
“We are bringing together leading specialists from different regions under a single global roof to offer our customers worldwide solutions that are technologically aligned and proven in practice,” says Daniel Black, General Manager of the ALDUS™ GROUP. “Labelexpo is the ideal platform to showcase our global strength in one unified presence.”
Comprehensive Portfolio – Tailored to Every Production Environment
Together, the four brands cover a wide range of solutions – from transfer products and inks to machinery and technical integration. The system approach is key: Customers receive not only individual components but also integrated solutions that are efficient, scalable, and practical.
“Our customers are looking for more than just components – they are seeking functioning systems and solutions to their everyday problems,” emphasises Kenny Gilmour, Managing Director of API Transfer Technologies, Starfoil Technology, and Newfoil Machines. “These system solutions are what we provide. We support our customers throughout the process, providing technical, consultative and collaborative support."
The ALDUS™ GROUP – Global Solutions, Local Implementation
Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, the ALDUS™ GROUP is an internationally operating network of specialised companies in printing, packaging, labelling, coding and precision engineering. With over 430 employees and 14 locations around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Poland, the group embodies global expertise, local presence and cutting-edge technological competence.
The group’s portfolio includes:
Strategic Focus on Visibility in the European Market
“As part of our ongoing global expansion, we have decided to place greater emphasis on the synergistic effects of the nine companies and brands within the ALDUS™ GROUP,” says Daniel Black, General Manager of the ALDUS™ GROUP. "Over the past 75 years, we have grown into one of the largest global systems providers in the printing and packaging industry, as well as in packing technology and engineering. However, we have largely kept the ALDUS™ GROUP’s marketing activities in Europe limited – and we are aware that the name ALDUS™ and the breadth of our product, machine, solution, and service offerings are still relatively unknown here."
Daniel continues: "That’s about to change with our presence at Labelexpo Europe. We are very excited to present the ALDUS™ GROUP in its newly updated corporate identity and showcase all the benefits and synergies for our customers across various sectors of the printing and packaging industry, as well as from our individual companies to the trade audience."
Kenny Gilmour concludes: "We have big plans ahead and look forward to taking our customers along on this exciting journey.”
