About Us
Autajon is one of the main European leaders in the Set-up boxes, Packaging and Labelling industries.
Autajon is a manufacturer of folding cartons, labels, set-up boxes and POS, for various market sectors such as Perfumes & Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, Wine & Spirits as well as Confectionery & Food Specialties.
Quick history
In 1964, Alain and Suzanne Autajon start up their business in the production of pharmaceutical cardboard folding boxes in Montélimar (Drôme, France).
A few years later, the family company embarks on a phase of fast and constant development by entering new markets (Perfumes & Cosmetics, Confectionery, Wine & Spirits).
International development
By 1995, the targeted acquisition of new companies specialised in folding boxes, both in France and abroad, enables Autajon to become an international Group.
This external growth is ‘ongoing' at Autajon : the integration of new companies specialised in wine and industrial labels is, constantly, reinforcing our position as leader in these specific markets.
Today, the Autajon Group, represented by 41 companies located in 12 countries in Europe, in the United States and in Asia, is catering to the needs of both small local companies as well as of the most prestigious international brands… always, in a spirit of technical guidance and of creativity.
