From a single engineering workshop in Sydney to a global group of specialised companies, the ALDUS story is one of innovation and continuous growth.
ALDUS traces its roots back to 1949, when Ronai Engineering was founded in Sydney. What started as a small engineering operation has grown, through decades of acquisition, partnership and reinvestment, into a multi-specialised group of companies spanning print, packaging and manufacturing. In 1955, Ronai Engineering was purchased by ALDUS Stockdale the moment the ALDUS name entered the story. Every chapter since has built on the same foundation: solving real production problems for the customers who depend on us.
The Moore family's purchase of ALDUS Engineering in 2000 marked the start of the group's modern era. Over the following two decades, ALDUS expanded deliberately — acquiring the specialist capabilities needed to offer customers a complete solution across engineering, inks, foils and labelling technology.
