Arconvert

What Arconvert does

Arconvert, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Girona, Spain, is a manufacturer of self-adhesive materials serving printers, brand owners, designers, converters, and graphics distributors. As part of Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives — a wholly-owned division of Italy's Fedrigoni S.p.A. — Arconvert operates alongside sub-brands Ritrama, Adhoc, Manter, and Acucote, producing pressure-sensitive papers and films supplied in rolls and sheets. The portfolio is organized into Labels (paper and film facestocks, linerless, digital-printing, laminations, special constructions), Luxury Labels (premium substrates produced exclusively via Fedrigoni Special Papers), Graphics (digital printing, plotter cutting, wrapping, screen printing, laminations, mounting), Sheets for digital and offset presses, Specialty Tapes, and Security products with tamper-evident and anti-counterfeiting features.

Underlying differentiation rests on materials-science IP rather than software: the patented Open & Close mono-material PP/PE construction, the Re-play range that upcycles wine-label liner waste into recycled premium facestock, wet-strength SH6020-W PLUS adhesive chemistry, FSC-C106281 chain-of-custody certification, IATF 16949 automotive qualification, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 pharmaceutical compliance, and UL-recognized polyester constructions. Sustainability is positioned as a structural thesis across compostable, recycled, and linerless SKUs targeting circular-economy mandates in food, beverage, wine/spirits, pharmaceutical, beauty, automotive, and industrial-chemical end-markets.

Revenue mechanics are B2B specialty materials: direct enterprise sales for large brand owners and converters via contact-based quoting for commercial, technical, catalogue, and sampling requests, complemented by graphics distributor channels and a regional North American portal (myselfadhesives.fedrigoni.com). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the operating model implies multi-year supply agreements and qualification-driven contracts rather than transactional e-commerce. The company is privately held under the Fedrigoni Group conglomerate, with global footprint, multi-language digital presence (EN, ES, DE, FR, IT, PT), and demand-generation through the Fedrigoni Academy training platform and Fedrigoni Top Award design competition.
