In the years since the company opened the doors of its Brixton offices in 1868 for the very first time, MacDermid Autotype has initiated numerous ground-breaking developments within the specialist field of imaging technology.
After only six years of trading, in 1874, the then Autotype Company invented a new printing method that revolutionised the world of visual communication.
More recently the company has brought about a number of innovations, including precision nano replication (PNR) and formable Hardcoat films for film insert moulding, that accurately reflect its stated mission of 'applying technology' to help its customers in the electronics, display screen and printing industries to succeed.
