We, API Transfer Technologies, are considered one of the leading suppliers of high-quality transfer products for Hot Stamping (metallised and pigment), Cold Transfer printing, Digital printing and Narrow-Web printing in the graphics industry.

API Transfer Technologies was established after the acquisition of all companies and brands of United Foils Europe BV (United Transfer Technologies, United Foils, Packvision, Starfoil, Newfoil Machines) by API Foilmakers, an Aldus Company. This acquisition, which was officially announced in May 2024, represents a significant step towards creating a stronger, more diverse organisation that builds on the strengths of its predecessors.

We are now positioning the company exactly as we have long planned and prepared, especially in regard to the crucial areas of sustainability and recycling. We can now conclude contracts in our own name through selected European recycling partners, with whom we have been testing recycling solutions for almost all of our consumables for a long time. We will be informing you in more detail about this shortly.

You can read about the reasons behind our rebranding in our latest press release.

Over the years, we have also developed into a highly competent and very successful technology provider for almost all areas of the Hot and Cold Transfer business when it comes to plant and mechanical engineering. With Starfoil Technology Netherlands BV, our group includes one of the world's largest and most successful suppliers of high-quality winding and cutting machines as well as flatbed hot stamping machines. In May 2023, Starfoil also acquired Newfoil Machines Ltd, a world-renowned manufacturer of hot stamping, embossing and finishing machines for roll-to-roll and adhesive label production, which was formerly based in the UK. Newfoil's operations were relocated to Waalwijk and incorporated into the business of Starfoil Technology Netherlands BV as an independent brand.
