Flint Group Packaging Solutions opens a new chapter in packaging innovation
For more than a century, Flint Group has been the go-to name for reliability, innovation, and quality in printing inks and coatings. Now, we have unveiled the next step in our journey with the bold new identity, Flint Group Packaging Solutions.
A clear purpose
Our new name reflects our clear commitment to the packaging industry and marks a key milestone in our overall strategic transformation. While we have long focused our expertise and innovation in packaging, this brand refresh to Flint Group Packaging Solutions makes our commitment unmistakable.
Customers can rest assured that nothing is changing in their day-to-day partnerships. The same teams, trusted products, and exceptional service remain in place. What’s changing is our clarity of focus – a name and brand identity that fully embody our packaging-first strategy.
Building on a proud legacy
While this rebrand looks to the future, it also reflects back to our deep roots in the world of print. From our earliest beginnings in publication printing to our growth into a global leader in inks and coatings, this is a legacy that has always been built on partnership, performance, and progress.
As printing evolved and the prominence of packaging grew into a key growth engine for global brands, we adapted by investing in technologies, materials, and people to help meet the complex demands of key stakeholders – brands, retailers and consumers. The result is the Flint Group Packaging Solutions that you see today: a unified global leader in inks, coatings, services, and equipment driving innovation across every major packaging segment.
