Company profile

Diagraph is your partner for reliable marking of goods – since 1893 Diagraph’s story began in November 1893 with the design of the Bradley Stencil Machine. Invented by Andrew Jackson Bradley, it was developed to speed up the laborious process of manually marking freight along the Mississippi River. The Stencil Machine improved the time-consuming process of manual marking with costly brass stencils. Bradley’s invention changed the way shippers did business by making it easy to attach a variety of shipping and product information to the outside of shipping containers. As customer needs evolved, Diagraph was the first to respond with an expanded line of machines, inks, brushes and paper. As the industry progressed, Diagraph continued to innovate and offer increasingly automated coding solutions to make its customers’ jobs easier. Just as Bradley revolutionized the industry with the Stencil Machine, Diagraph continued that legacy by introducing the roll coder, the world’s first high-resolution piezoelectric printing press, and the first all-electric automated labeling system – just to name two examples! Diagraph joins ITW In 2001, Diagraph joined the ITW Group of Companies. ITW (Illinois Tool Works Inc.) employs about 46,000 people in its decentralized business units in more than 55 countries, and generated sales of US$15.6 billion in 2022. Founded in 1912, the secret of the Group’s success throughout its more than 100-year history has always been to offer products with high added value to its key customers around the world, thanks to the high technical skills of its employees. Another factor was the worldwide expansion of business, also through acquisitions, which made it possible to round off the ITW product range in a targeted manner.
