POLIDANO PRESS - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Managing Director of Polidano Press Limited
Aldo is the Managing Director of Polidano Press Limited, that offers quality printing services to all types of businesses. During his 25-year journey within the company, Aldo has worked hands-on within several departments, including graphic design, prepress, offset printing and binding. Over the years, this exposure to the various skills has taught him how to handle challenges when managing a printing press.
Alfred Polidano set up Polidano Press Ltd in 1988. In 1963, still at a young age, he entered the amazing world of Printing as an apprentice with an established firm, and worked as a printer and a die (block) maker. When Offset Printing was introduced in Malta, he was given the role to head and run the Pre-Press Department which he managed until he left in 1980. He later set up a partnership with an advertising agency and headed Pal Press Limited for eight years.
In 1988, he took a calculated risk and gambled his savings to purchase machinery and some paper stock, and set up a printing shop in the garage adjacent to his house in Qormi. With such humble beginnings, a lot of perseverance and a lot of support from his wife Carmen, he started producing high quality artworks and printing, that attracted new discerning clients who were after individual attention, excellent detail in production and respected lead times.
Over 32 years (3 decades), PPL has achieved tremendous growth and today it's one of the leading printing presses in Malta. Alfred handed over his position to his son Aldo in 2019.
