Newman Labelling celebrates 75 years with VIP visit

Newman Labelling Systems, a leading manufacturer and supplier of specialist labelling machines, was honoured to welcome local MP Theresa Villiers as part of its 75th-anniversary celebrations at its premises in Barnet, North London, this November.

The event, which took place on 2nd November 2018, was part of a year-long celebration marking Newman Labelling Systems’ achievements in its incredible 75 years in the industry. Managing Director Shaun Baker and Production Manager Martyn Bell took Theresa Villiers on a guided tour of the facility, demonstrating labelling machines in action and presenting the company’s manufacturing capability. A specially prepared display exhibiting the long history of the company proved particularly interesting. Theresa spoke with a number of employees and finished the visit with a cup of tea and a specially made Newman 75-year anniversary cake.

Commenting on the event, Managing Director Shaun Baker said: “It was a pleasure to welcome Theresa to our company; she was both friendly and engaging. Newman Labelling Systems is a rarity in Barnet: a manufacturer alive and well in what is primarily a residential area. Theresa was impressed with our many achievements and was interested to hear about the company’s history, as well as our plans for the future.”

The history of the company began in 1943 when two gentlemen, Bob Newman and Dave Friend, started Newman Labelling Machines (which later became Newman Labelling Systems). The company has been based in its current location since 1960 and currently employs around 30 people.
