THE COMPANY

Paul Duvivier, founder of the Duvivier company, was a pioneer in the field of labelling machines. He created the Duvivier company at the end of the 19th century, around 1892, in Paris. Its objective was to offer solutions for labelling and marking, at a time when these tools were becoming increasingly necessary in the industry, particularly for the packaging and sale of products. The first labeling machine appeared in 1893.


The Duvivier company innovated by designing manual labelling machines, then developing more automated models, allowing labels to be applied to products more quickly and more efficiently. The company thus made itself known in the industrial sector, where its products met with great success. Although the Duvivier company has evolved over the years, it has remained a key player in the labelling machine industry, and Duvivier labellers are still recognized for their reliability and performance.

in 1997, ETIQ-CONSERVES (owner of the DUVIVIER brand) based its manufacturing site in Saint Malo (FRANCE) in 2000. In November 2016, the company was sold to AFU based in Saint Malo, one of  the primary suppliers of  ETIQ-CONSERVES.

As a manfacturer & developer of horizontal labellers for cylindrical cans, DUVIVIER & ETIQ-CONSERVES has continued to develop its product range and offers solutions for increasing your productivity.

AFU helps you identify the right labeler based on your cylindrical containers (jars, bottles, cans, ...) and can adjust each labeler to your own needs. We also offer some on-site training in France & worldwide. We will provide you with all the labeler spare parts as well as the recommended glues.
