Europe no. 1 in Paints & Coatings

Impress supplies mainly printed cans to the major brands across Europe in paints, coatings and varnishes, both for do-it-yourself and professional use. Our locations in Europe provide a wide variety of packages to serve the different market needs, including round, rectangular and shaped cans, pails for bulk packs, and a special range of containers approved to UN standards.

Our leadership in metal printing techniques and technology, allied to a highly responsive pre-press organization, ensures that customer's designs are faithfully reproduced to catch the eye on the shelf.

Impress is also part of the movement to standardize specifications across Europe. By creating the 'E-range' of cans and ends, we have helped to rationalize some of the many minor product variations which have emerged in the European market over the years. In simplifying the product range we have been able to make major cost savings. Details of the E-range can be found here with data sheets in Italian, German and French.

Impress established a presence in Eastern Europe in 2005 with the acquisition of PAK, Poland's market leader in paint cans and aerosols. This solid base was followed by establishing Impress Ukraine in 2006 which provides several innovative paint can sizes and opening systems. These Eastern European production sites underline our commitment to growth and provide a platform to support international customers which are becoming increasingly present in these regions as well as providing a supply base for local customers.
