History
MacDermid was founded in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1922 as a small metal finishing business by Archie J. MacDermid. In subsequent years, MacDermid expanded from its metal finishing roots into plating on plastics and electronics and extended globally into Europe and Asia. MacDermid invested in several acquisitions, expanding into new markets including printing with the production of textile blankets in 1945, the origins of our Graphics Solutions business. From 1995 to 1999, mergers and acquisitions including W.R. Grace, Hercules and Polyfibron formed MacDermid Printing Solutions.
Heritage
MacDermid Printing Solutions offered cutting edge platemaking technology and equipment for every package printing application. We introduced LUX® Lamination, an innovative flat-top dot technology in 2010, and formed a new identity as MacDermid Graphics Solutions in 2016.
