Pressroom chemistry & technology · Est. 1989
The chemistry of cleaner printing.
Amerikal engineers sustainable pressroom solutions — No/Low-VOC chemistry, zero HAPs, and SMART technology that cuts consumption, waste and cost without compromising the sheet.
35+years of sustainable innovation
Proof, not promises
Measured at the press, not in the brochure.
less fountain solution consumption with Genesis chemistry
gallons blended per 12-hour shift in our Waukegan facility
hazardous air pollutants across our core chemistry line
ink mileage improvement possible with THINK™ thin ink technology
What we make
One partner for the whole pressroom.
The Amerikal standard
Sustainable wasn't a trend when we started. It was the point.
Founded in 1989 as the first pressroom-solutions manufacturer dedicated exclusively to sustainable product development, we run one of the industry's few sustainable lean manufacturing facilities — 25 miles north of Chicago, shipping worldwide.
Reduce petroleum dependency
Chemistry formulated to replace petroleum-derived inputs wherever performance allows.
Eliminate hazardous exposure
Zero-HAP formulations protect press operators and simplify your safety program.
Cut energy & waste
SMART systems lower energy expense and take hazardous waste streams off your books.
Conserve at the source
Lean manufacturing and quality-controlled blending since our 2007 facility upgrade.
Regulation, handled
Compliance built into the barrel.
Every formulation ships with the documentation your EHS team actually needs — so audits are a formality, not a fire drill.
