Paragon Europe
From past to present
The foundation of the business was laid in 1886 when Lamson Paragon was formed in Canning Town, London. In the early 1900s, it expanded throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, developing its document creation business. The company merged with Moore in the 1970s to create Moore Paragon, which became the first global print company in the world.
Grenadier Holdings purchased the European document and labels businesses from Moore Corporation in 1998 and since then has continued to develop the business through consolidation, growth and further acquisitions. The Paragon Group is now the European leader in advanced solutions for documents, tickets, labels and print management. It supplies its full product and service portfolio from 7 manufacturing facilities and 17 sales offices to over 70 countries worldwide.
