Investing for the future

Before we opened our new Batavia, IL facility, the last new North American anilox manufacturing location opened in 2008. That location was Pamarco's La Palma, CA facility. For nearly seventy-ve years Pamarco has been growing and servicing the packaging industry by investing in its people, state of the art equipment, and facilities to remain a leader in the business. We look forward to the next seventy-ve and hope that you’ll join us.
