ARMOR is a French group with sites throughout the world, whose ICP division designs and manufactures inked films used in Thermal Transfer technology. This technology is for marking bar codes, logos, use-by dates or other batch information on labels or flexible packaging.
Since its founding in 1922 in Nantes, ARMOR has been a pioneer in its principle area of business: printing inks. ARMOR was one of the first companies to manufacture carbon film, then to launch ribbon cassettes for typewriters and subsequently printers, and finally to introduce Thermal Transfer technology into Europe in the early 1980s.
