USA – ProMach announced its ID Technology brand has acquired Lofton Label & Packaging, a producer of labels and printed flexible packaging materials, on Oct. 3.
The addition of Lofton expands ProMach’s labeling and coding capabilities to provide customers across North America with the ability to keep their packaging operations running at peak efficiency.
Founded in 1981, Lofton provides flexographic and digital label and film printing capabilities for products and packaging, including flexible packaging rollstock films, stand-up pouches, sachets, and stickpacks.
Lofton solutions add value to prime labeling initiatives as well with digital embellishments including tactile and cold foiling as well as variable data including variable imaging.
Additionally, it produces a wide array of specialty label solutions, including global product authentication service (GPAS) labels for track and trace, brand protection, and consumer engagement, extended content labels (onserts), instant redeemable coupons (IRC), as well as multi-layer peel and resealable labels.
Lofton’s extensive label and flexible packaging printing solutions serve a wide range of industries, including agriculture, animal health, food and beverage, health and beauty, industrial chemicals, nutraceuticals/supplements, and wine, beer, and spirits.
“We are pleased to welcome the Lofton label & packaging team to ProMach,” said Mark Anderson, President and CEO of ProMach.
“With the addition of Lofton, ProMach continues what we started more than a decade ago—expanding our label-converting capabilities to complement our extensive portfolio of labeling equipment solutions.
“This further bolsters our vision of providing our North American customers with comprehensive labeling and coding solutions and support from a partner that is close to them, wherever they are.”
Lofton’s team will join ProMach’s labeling and coding business line led by Alan Shipman, group president.
ProMach’s labeling and coding business line offers a wide range of products under brands such as ID technology, EPI, Panther, Code Tech, and Greydon.
This comprehensive solution is available to customers across North America and includes labels, machinery, and support services.
