We’re proud to welcome and thank AB Graphic International Limited for their fantastic support of the NIBA as sponsors of Division Two for the 2026 season.

The NIBA would like to acknowledge the generosity of AB Graphic International Limited for their generous sponsorship of Division Two for the 2026 season. AB Graphic International was established in Yorkshire by the Burton family back in 1954. They quickly established strong roots as an engineering operation: a foundation that remains firmly in place today.

Fast forward and today they are the global leader in innovative label and packaging solutions. The company has four manufacturing sites spread across the U.K., Germany and Spain and employs over five hundred people in these facilities. They have sales and service offices in Chile, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States of America with another fifty distributors to support their machinery globally.

They remain one hundred percent family owned, and their global team still maintains the same core values of decency, integrity and the above and beyond approach, that goes back to the foundation of the company.
