A Legacy of Imaging Heritage
Agfa-Gevaert is a Belgian-German multinational corporation with roots stretching back to 1867, when Gustav Schleussner founded a photographic factory in Frankfurt, Germany. Agfa — derived from Aktien-Gesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation — became a global leader in photographic, imaging, and healthcare IT products over more than 150 years.
Agfa's printing division has long been one of the foremost providers of prepress and CTP (Computer-to-Plate) technology for the global offset printing industry. AGFA CTP systems and printing plates are used by some of the world's most demanding printers — commercial sheet-fed operations, flexible packaging converters, and high-volume newspaper printers alike.
Agfa's Offset Solutions business encompasses CTP platesetting engines, thermal and photopolymer printing plates, workflow software (Apogee), and pressroom chemicals — providing a comprehensive prepress ecosystem for offset print operations.
Note: Agfa completed the sale of its Offset Solutions division to AURELIUS Group in 2023. The Agfa Offset Solutions business continues to operate independently, maintaining its product portfolio, brand, and global distribution network. Smart Printing Solutions Ltd.'s partnership covers the AGFA Offset Solutions range.
