After 60 years in business, Birmingham, AL-based ALG Labels + Graphics is reflecting on its journey and recognizes its position as a forerunner in the durable labeling industry. Over the past six decades, the company has undergone transformations, driven by growth, dedication to quality, and a commitment to providing reliable products. The company continues to set benchmarks for excellence in high-quality durable labels for complex performance situations. 

Milestones and Achievements 
One of ALG’s most significant accomplishments has been its leadership in the durable labeling field, particularly for fire extinguishing solutions, outdoor power equipment & trailers, OEMs, other complex performance durable markets. This commitment to durables led to achieving and maintaining ISO 9000 certification. Over the years, ALG has also played a key role in developing advanced offerings for these sectors, earning the trust of industry leaders and establishing itself as a go-to provider for market-leading solutions. 

In response to evolving technologies and customer demands, ALG expanded its capabilities by introducing a screen-printing department, complementing its existing digital and flexographic printing operations. This addition has enabled the company to serve its clients better with a broader set of solutions for over 50 years. 

Celebrating 60 Years with New Initiatives 
To commemorate this milestone, ALG is making significant investments in its people and infrastructure within the 2020s. The company is expanding its sales and customer support teams to deliver high-touch service and proactively address client needs. This enhanced approach ensures customers receive tailored, forward-thinking solutions to their challenges before they even arise. 

“At ALG Labels + Graphics, our core values — Pursue Excellence, Support Each Other and Own It! —are at the heart of everything we do,” says Steve Cramer, general manager. “By embracing these core values, we work together to deliver exceptional service, take responsibility for our actions, and strive for continuous improvement in all areas.” 

Recently, ALG achieved Silver EcoVadis certification last year, underscoring its dedication to environmental and social responsibility. As a company, ALG continues to prioritize sustainability by implementing practices and processes that reduce environmental impact while delivering exceptional products to its clients. 

“This milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and the trust of our customers,” sayd John Ehrhardt, president of ALG Labels + Graphics and second-generation leader of the company. “We’ve come a long way over the last 60 years, and I’m incredibly proud of how we’ve grown and continue to evolve.” 

Looking to the Future 
Over the next 10 years, ALG aims to deepen its commitment to clients, employees, and quality. By embracing new core values and continuously investing in its people and processes, the company says it seeks to build on its legacy while driving progress in the labeling sector.
