Posted on: Wednesday, September 15th, 2021

Arden Engraving has joined forces with another leading European Engraving firm in a bid to expand our operations across Europe. 

We’ve entered into a new partnership with Polish-based Stamp Systems. 

Arden Engraving, which is part of the Arden Group of companies founded in 1964, manufactures embossing and hot foil stamping tools to some of the largest carton and label manufacturers. We have operations around the world including Germany and the USA. 

Stamp Systems was established in 2019 and is a well-respected producer in Poland of complex tools and dies for the packaging sector, renowned for its innovation. It’s a leading producer of printing dies and provides comprehensive solutions for stamping.

The partnership will bring together the combined engineering expertise and complementing competencies of Arden and Stamp Systems, representing a major growth opportunity for both companies, through an expanded geographic footprint that will help them better serve their customers. 

Martin Poynter, Managing Director of the Arden Group, said: “We are delighted to enter into this new partnership with Stamp Systems, bringing together some of the best skills and expertise in embossing and foil stamping tooling solutions, and enabling both organisations to expand our operations across Europe and accelerate our growth strategies. 

“Arden Engraving and Stamp Systems share a common background of working with some of the world’s leading packaging and label converters to deliver the highest quality and most innovative tooling technologies, so we’re confident this partnership will deliver real benefits to all our customers and strengthen our position within the market.”

Arden Engraving has committed to investing in new machinery and technology at the Polish site, which is based in Poznań and employs 20 people. 

Marcin Rudziakowicz, CEO of Stamp Systems, said: “We’ve had talks with several overseas companies as we considered potential partners to contribute to the success of the Stamp Systems brand on an international level, however we decided to combine our strengths and know-how with Arden whose brand, quality and over 50-year experience, perfectly match our own philosophy and vision.

“Arden and Stamp Systems are driven by similar values and we’re confident that this partnership will enable us to continue to build on the success we have already achieved with our innovative tooling technologies and further enhance our reputation in the packaging sector.

“We’re excited to work together with Arden to combine our technological skills, extend our product portfolio and launch some new projects to the market, such as our innovative STAMP_plast technology.”

Both companies will continue to operate under their respective brands, but will come together to bring some exciting new products to the market. Innovative projects in the pipe-line include developing new plastic (STAMP_plast) and silicone dies and forces, utilising laser technology to create 3D embossing dies and additive manufacturing
