What we talk about when we talk about self‑adhesive materials

People describe us as a leading global player in the self-adhesive labels sector.
But we prefer to think of ourselves as thought partners before product partners. As partners who can find any solution for self-adhesive materials, solutions that are both technological and visually appealing, with a truly diverse range of products.

Our story is one of people, rather than businesses, united across the world.
A new reality created by the merging of companies and the blending of diverse experiences.

Finding eye‑catching solutions, before producing them

Passion, experience, attention to detail, always looking ahead to the future, without any barriers. The desire to make eye-catching products.

Our products have a unique design because we are alone on the market, so we can offer our clients Fedrigoni products. And because we can guarantee excellent performance on contact with water, ice, condensation and oil-rich agents.

More than labels. A brief history of (our) self‑adhesives.

We started in Italy with the merger of Arconvert, Ritrama and Manter, leaders in converting, design and manufacture of self-adhesive materials, before the creation of Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives.
Now we’re global, with production and distribution sites all over the world.

1944

Manter was founded. The iconic brand nowadays produces a collection of self-adhesive materials and a range of papers and films designed for the labeling sector.

1962

Arnold Rink founded Ritrama near Milan (Italy). He was persuaded by the opportunities in the newly developing European self-adhesive materials industry.

On his return from the USA where he learnt the art of making silicone paper, Gianfranco Fedrigoni set up the very first self-adhesive production machine in Varone.

1982

Ritrama Ltd. was founded in Manchester, establishing a significant position in UK, Northern Europe and the Asia-Pacific self-adhesive materials markets.

1989

Arconvert SpA was founded. It was the new Fedrigoni Group company producing self-adhesive papers and films for the labeling industry.
