Spartanics acquires Malahide Hot Stamping Presses

Spartanics is a market leader in card manufacturing equipment and laser cutting systems, and in recent years has developed hot stamping systems utilizing proprietary x, y and rotation correction technology for sheets and rolls of material.

It said the purchase of Malahide strengthens its line-up of full sheet and roll-fed hot stamping systems by offering smaller hot stamping equipment designed to add security foil features, signature panels and full color graphics to financial transaction cards, paper cards, loyalty cards, membership cards, poker chips, ribbons and many other promotional items.

Spartanics will now be able to cater to the hot stamping needs of customers of all sizes.

Spartanics plans to keep the same models offered by Malahide available to the market along with developing new models in the future. 

Malahide technology will be engineered, manufactured, sold and serviced by Spartanics in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Electronic marketing of Malahide Hot Stamping Press will continue on its own website, www.malahide.com.

Tom Kleeman, chief executive officer of Spartanics, said: ‘We could not be happier with the addition of Malahide Hot Stamping Presses to the Spartanics family of products. For the past 50 years we have offered our customers equipment technology that automates manufacturing processes. It is hard to beat Malahide’s customer satisfaction rating of 98 percent, and we plan to continue this tradition for years to come.’

Paul Birch, Malahide’s sales director, said: ‘ Spartanics shares our goals of producing superior machinery, backed by superior customer service. 

‘With more people, more resources and an array of complimentary technical skills, we have every confidence that this new structure will advance the equipment and well-serve the needs of Malahide's client family.’
