Thermal Transfer Solutions Redditch UK Site

"Mighty Oaks from Little Acorns Grow"

It all started with 1 slitting machine in the corner of a factory in 2006 with a plan to become a major thermal transfer ribbon supplier. Having negotiated exclusive slitting agreements for the UK with DNP and Ricoh, each globally recognised industry leaders, we very quickly expanded to 3 slitting machines.

Our unique business model offering our very own “Advantage Range”, a compact range of grades with maximum performance and flexibility and 400 stock sizes for same day shipping, ensured we could remain competitive and support our resellers to grow their sales substantially.

Our “Trade Only Policy” commitment allowed us to build long lasting and successful trading relationships with many resellers across the UK and Europe.

We now have over 400 stock size ribbons in our Redditch warehouse, for SAME DAY shipping.

Todaytec Group Europe is Formed

Thermal Transfer Solutions, CALOR and REGMA all join forces, combining established expertise across the UK, Netherlands, Germany and France to strengthen service, supply and technical support across Europe.

From a specialist UK ribbon converter established in 2006, Thermal Transfer Solutions has grown rapidly into one of Europe’s leading thermal transfer ribbon suppliers. Over the years, TTS has expanded from its original base into larger facilities, developed its own Advantage Range, launched a dedicated European operation in the Netherlands, joined the Todaytec Group, and become part of the wider Todaytec Group Europe network. This growth reflects the company’s continued investment in stockholding, production capability, technical support, and service for trade partners across the UK and Europe.

Working with label resellers, our mission always has been to add value to their label sales by offering Thermal Transfer Ribbon too... Not only adding value to sales with customers they already have, but helping to protect their existing label business too. We believe this is what makes us stand out from the rest.

Joining Todaytec Group was certainly a major milestone for us. A global manufacturer of thermal transfer ribbons operating across four continents, this move strengthened our manufacturing credentials even further as we were now part of the second largest manufacturer of thermal transfer ribbons in the world.

TTS joining forces with 2 other Todaytec European partners, CALOR and REGMA, to form Todaytec Group Europe was another historic event. We all had the same ambition - to become the largest ribbon manufacturer and distributor in Europe. Watch this space. That time will come!
