. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A Decade of Labelling Excellence
Formed in 1996 and started trading in 1997, Advanced Labelling Systems Ltd, was started by Noel Donaldson as a management buy-out of the Avery Dennison UK Labelling Machinery Division. Critical to the success of the new venture, all key staff relocated from Wooburn Green, Bucks to new premises at Thame, Oxfordshire. Today, still family owned and financially stable, ALS has grown and built its customer base on well-built products, competitive prices and first class service. On day one, the industry unique ALS 2-Year on-site warranty was introduced for all UK customers of our label applicators and print & apply systems. Most competitors to ALS thought it was just a gimmick or short-term promotion but 10 years on, its still there! Never before, nor since, has a UK labelling company provided such a fully comprehensive warranty that included, parts, travel and labour for the first two years of ownership. In the last ten years we have seen labelling trends come and go but as more and more emphasis is on speed, control, accuracy and verification it has taken us further into application PC and PLC software development and made us experts in product handling, sensors, barcode readers, RFID and vision inspection system technology. A far cry from when Noel started his career in labelling as an engineer at Avery, back in the 70’s, when the old clutch and brake labellers started getting replaced by the new stepper motor technology! ALS sees the next ten years as both a time of challenge and opportunity. By listening to their customers and adapting to supplying what the industry demands, always evolving and never standing still, ALS believes it will continue to thrive and enjoy a further ten years of success.
Advanced Labelling Systems Ltd of Thame, Oxon has installed three high-speed rotary labelling systems over a two month period, to a major prepared salad producer in the East of England, right on time for the Easter product re-launch. The company is the dominant supplier of potato salads, coleslaws and other related products to the UK’s main supermarket retailers. The new design of packaging presented numerous challenges, where a front and back label is applied to the curved and angled faces of the very flexible container, along with a top label on the recessed lid. One of biggest orders for ALS in 2006, uses a highly modified version of the high-speed ALS 350 labelling head for throughput and accuracy. Three labellers were built on each of the three, ten platform rotary bases, manufactured for ALS by KHS in Hamburg. At 260 products per minute, per machine, 24 hours per day, the result is one of the highest labelled throughput of salad in the country and a new look for an established product, which substantially boosted sales for the same Easter period last year, by nearly 50%. They are now all set for later on in the year when, incredibly, their busiest production will actually be Christmas! So that’s what you’ve been eating with all that left-over turkey!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ALS 10 Year Celebration
A family fun-day for all ALS employees, their families and even some previous employees and select suppliers, was held at the Tythe Barn, Launton, Oxon - a fabulous setting for everyone to relax, eat, drink and where the kids (of all ages!!!) had a go at some games, challenges and tasks. In a garden party-type atmosphere, helped by being the only hot sunny day of the summer, everyone had a great time and for many, to ponder on just where did the last 10 years go to?!!!
