From Family Business to European Packaging Leader

Asteria’s journey began in Belgium in 1985 as Accent, a family-owned label manufacturer. Over the years, strategic growth and acquisitions have transformed the business into the Asteria Group, bringing together specialist companies across Europe while maintaining the local knowledge and customer relationships that have always been central to its success.

Today, Asteria combines the resources of a major European organisation with the flexibility and responsiveness of local manufacturing sites, giving customers access to both international capability and personalised service.

Asteria produces far more than labels. The group provides a broad portfolio of packaging solutions, including labels, flexible packaging, pouches and folding cartons, serving sectors such as food, beverages, cosmetics, healthcare, logistics and industrial manufacturing. Its goal is simple: to help customers find packaging solutions that combine performance, sustainability and operational efficiency.

A Mission Built Around Customers and Sustainability

Asteria’s mission goes beyond producing high-quality packaging. The company is driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, with a commitment to making a positive difference for customers, employees and the environment. By 2030, Asteria aims to become a sustainability frontrunner within the European packaging industry, with sustainable alternatives already available for most of its label portfolio. This long-term vision reflects the company’s belief that environmental responsibility should sit alongside quality, innovation and customer service—not compete with them.
