The Label Division of Illinois Tool Works Inc. has announced that the ITW operations of Bay Area Labels, located in San Jose, CA, USA, will join ITW Labels in becoming a part of the Label Division. Through the addition of this high-quality ITW business, the Label Division has extended capabilities and geographic coverage to provide its customers with a driven, single source solution for their label needs. ITW Labels has current manufacturing facilities in Georgia, Missouri, Kansas and Mexico, with sales offices across North America.
This change is part of a larger ITW enterprise initiative. In 2013, ITW began the process of simplifying its divisional operating structure by scaling up hundreds of business units into larger, more competitive global divisions.
As a result of this initiative, the company’s operating divisions draw upon an enhanced pool of resources and scale to accelerate growth, as well as provide new opportunities to drive cost and productivity improvements. This in turn positively affects the divisions’ ability to provide greater value to customers.
ITW Labels is a leading provider of custom label solutions and decals with an array of print and finishing capabilities including flexographic, screen print and digital. ITW Labels services a wide range of customers in the Grocery Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods and Durable Goods & Equipment markets.
BAL is a full-service manufacturer and printer of graphic overlays, insulators and shielding components, labels, membrane switches, 3-D domed nameplates, and bar codes. BAL’s products and services will work to complement ITW Labels’ current offering of custom label solutions and decals.
