In business for more than 65 years, Aitken Spence Printing not only strives to be a high-quality printing & packaging services provider to customers but also prides itself on being a good corporate citizen. We continuously strive to find sustainable resources & efficient technology, new processes & systems and participate in a variety of environmental initiatives in order to promote and support sustainability in the printing industry in partnership with all stakeholders.
Our Philosophy
Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, thereby fulfilling the social, economic, and other requirements of present and future generations.
In line with these principles, Aitken Spence Printing has identified ‘Sustainable Product & Process Development’ as one of the key strategic attributes for the success of next-generation manufacturing.

This dedicated interdepartmental team is tasked with researching and implementing sustainable initiatives for both the Company and its employees.
