Twenty-five years working for labeling

Solid, reliable and competent: Altech celebrates its quarter of a century of activity and looks to the global market with the peace of mind of a company that knows it has always done its utmost.

Year 2016 marks the 25 years since Altech’s founding. An achievement full of meaning that deserves to be celebrated with justified pride by a company that has able to grow steadily in the industrial labeling and identification systems sector. Indeed the Lombard concern presides over constantly evolving market that features for the quest for custom, state-of-the-art solutions, capable of satisfying and interpreting the many roles the label is called upon to play, labels that are now getting ever smarter, more complex and more communicative day-in-day-out.

Italian excellence worldwide
Automatic label applying machines must comply with the requirements of consumer product marketing and distribution as well as those of company automation and logistics heads. Which is why they need to be both innovative and reliable, so as not to hamper operations along a packaging line: they also need to be sturdy and compact, built with quality materials, that ensure high performance and consistent results over time.
And this is what has been achieved by Altech, which since 1991 has been building automatic labeling machines and systems, plotting out their own company growth with determination.
How this has been achieved is explained by company President Piero Salvini: «the company was founded as a “physiological” consequence of an activity of management mainly carried out in the  labelling field. The favorable circumstances, the availability of various experts, the stimulating presence of my sons who followed me in the undertaking, convinced me to proceed with an adventure which I continue to be proud of».
Indeed Altech has never ceased to firmly and consistently look ahead. As when, in 2002, the company decided to transfer and extend their works to cope with a sharp increase in activity, already then mostly export-oriented; this the merit of the good work done by an efficient and qualified network of foreign distributors built up over time.
Today the approximately 80 distributors operating in over 50 countries are joined by three subsidiaries in Great Britain, Argentina and the US, which effectively contribute to strengthening the company image on a global level: with a production of more than a thousand labellers a year covering the 5 continents, in 2015 Altech indeed exceeded 10 M euros in turnover.

Nothing happens by chance
Hence 25 years well spent and without reneging on its original principles: transparency and honesty in customer relations, the quality and skill of human resources, reliable response and solid organization.
All this allows Altech to speedily propose customized solutions in line with the emerging needs of the highly varied world of ID, offering a broad and varied range of products: primary labelling systems (both decorative and informative) for products of various shapes and sizes, anti-tamper labeling of caps and lids, case-, bundle and pallet identification using real time print/apply systems.
Altech’s comprehensive technological offer manages to marry the hyper standardization of components with systematic updating of control systems and the design of modular, custom-built machines, while paying due attention to details, ergonomics and safety. In short, the deserved compendium to an extensive R&D activity that places the onus on innovation.
Something the market has shown it appreciates.
