Overview
Topflight Corporation is a privately held American manufacturer specializing in printing, die-cutting, and specialty converting. Headquartered at 277 Commerce Drive in Glen Rock, Pennsylvania, the company has been providing labeling and converting solutions since 1942. It describes itself as striving to be the first company customers think of when they need unique, creative solutions requiring printing, die-cutting, and specialty converting. The company serves five core industries. In medical devices, Topflight works with established medical companies and innovative startups to develop and manufacture components for the simplest to the most complex devices. In renewable energy, it excels at label applications for the energy efficiency and renewable energy marketplaces. In tire and automotive, it has over 40 years of experience partnering with OEMs, Tier 2, and Tier 3 suppliers to make labels, overlays, sensors, printed electronics, and more. In health and beauty, many leading cosmetic and personal care companies rely on Topflight for labeling and packaging expertise. In durable and harsh environments, Topflight produces labels found in homes every day, from power tools to appliances to fire extinguishers. Topflight is ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified and takes a collaborative approach to manufacturing labels, conductive parts, and die-cut components. It offers advanced digital printing alongside conventional printing options with up to 12 print stations in line, as well as precision die-cutting. Its Creative Services team provides color matching, label design support, and prepress capabilities, while its Engineering Services team offers rapid prototyping, design support, and validation and testing input. The company's history dates to 1942, and its first manufacturing plant was established in York, Pennsylvania, in 1950, making it one of the first label printers in the industry. Utilizing engineering experience from World War II, Topflight also designed some of the earliest printing presses. In 1959, a modern printing press was completed that proved so efficient and reliable that dozens remain in use around the world today. During the 1960s, Topflight continued to design and produce printing presses and aggressively developed advanced labeling solutions, including shrinkable films, self-destructing materials, and unique adhesive applications. In 1961, Adhesives Research was created to chemically engineer adhesive solutions that existing companies could not achieve. In the 1970s, Topflight experimented with emerging electronic products, offering alternative electronic solutions through conductive printing, sensors, and membrane switches, and Conductive Technologies was established to meet the technical needs of membrane switches and biosensors. Today, Topflight remains privately held and continues to operate from its Glen Rock, Pennsylvania headquarters, serving a diverse set of industrial and consumer-facing markets with specialized printing, converting, and component manufacturing capabilities.
History
Topflight Corporation traces its origins to 1942, when it began providing innovative solutions to labeling and converting challenges. In 1950, the company established its first manufacturing plant in York, Pennsylvania, becoming one of the first label printers in the industry. Drawing on engineering experience from World War II, Topflight also designed some of the earliest printing presses. In 1959, the company completed a modern printing press that proved so efficient and reliable that dozens of units remain in use around the world today. During the 1960s, Topflight continued to design and produce printing presses while aggressively developing advanced labeling solutions, including shrinkable films, self-destructing materials, and unique adhesive applications. In 1961, Adhesives Research was created to chemically engineer adhesive solutions that existing companies could not achieve. In the 1970s, Topflight expanded into emerging electronic products, offering alternative electronic solutions through conductive printing, sensors, and membrane switches. To specifically meet the technical needs of membrane switches and biosensors, Conductive Technologies was established. Over the following decades, Topflight grew into a diversified specialty manufacturer serving medical device, renewable energy, tire and automotive, health and beauty, and durable/harsh-environment markets. The company remains privately held and operates from its headquarters at 277 Commerce Drive in Glen Rock, Pennsylvania.
