High among the achievements of NITA Labeling Equipment—a Quebec, Canada, manufacturer of pressure-sensitive labeling machines—is being named the Innovative Company of 2010 by the Industrial Research Association of Quebec. Other winners of this award include Pfizer, Merck Frosst, and Mechtronix Systems.

From its start in 1990 to 2004, NITA served customers in the North American food and beverage, household chemical, and health and beauty industries. In 2005, however, the company decided to sell internationally. Through extensive research and development, and re-engineering, NITA overhauled its product portfolio to better serve European and Asian markets. The company unveiled its sustainable labeling machines at the EastPack packaging exposition and conference in fall 2008.
