AM Labels turns 30

AM Labels has marked its 30th anniversary with a visit from the mayor of Kettering, Cllr Lauren Glanfield, who unveiled a commemorative plaque in its reception area on Friday, October 16, 2026.

The company was established in 1996 as a one-man operation, with Tony Mariani producing custom labels from his home on two printers. As demand grew, it began supplying customers with their own labeling equipment. It now operates from a 14,000 square feet site that includes a label manufacturing and production facility and a Technical Experience Centre, where customers can watch label printers and automation equipment run live before buying.

AM Labels supplies label applicators, print and apply systems, color label printers, label finishers, RFID technology, handheld scanning and barcoding technology from many leading manufacturers to businesses across the UK. In 2022, it introduced sugar cane paper labels and labels made from 30 percent sun-dried grass fiber (hay) and 70 percent sustainably sourced pulp, and it received the Epson ColorWorks Sustainability Award 2026.

'Reaching this milestone is a fantastic achievement for everyone at AM Labels and I am truly proud of how the business has grown over the past 30 years. AM Labels' success is the result of the hard work and dedication of our incredible team, the loyalty of our customers and the strong partnerships we have developed over the years. We never stand still, and that mindset will continue to shape our future, as we invest in new technologies, embrace more sustainable ways of working and continue delivering the high levels of service that our customers expect from us,' said Mariani, managing director of AM Labels.
