The Corporation rapidly moved forward and quickly became known as a leader in its field. Operations in Europe began in the 1970's. This, ultimately lead to the formation of Loveshaw Europe.

In 1975, due to the growing popularity of pressure-sensitive tape, the Little David case sealer range was launched. Over time, this range of innovative, simple and easy to use case sealers replaced the larger more expensive gluing systems.

In 1982 industrial case coding Inkjet Printers were added. This was closely followed in 1988 by the introduction of the Microjet II. This inkjet printer revolutionised the jet printer industry. It set the standard. This unit was the first totally enclosed, self-contained inkjet printer ever to be manufactured. The current, modern, updated version remains a cornerstone of the Loveshaw Europe end-of-line case coding range.

In 1994 Loveshaw successfully introduced a High Resolution Inkjet Printer. These printers have the capability of text, barcodes and graphics. In 2005, Loveshaw Europe added the Diagraph Resolution Print range

Also in 2005, a new range of Case Erectors was launched. This enabled customers to enter into cardboard reduction programs. This new range can handle relatively thin RSC cardboard boxes, so saving money.

In 2007 the first combined labelling and sealing machine was launched. Enabling for the first time, labels to be applied at the same time as sealing a box.

Acquired in 1995 by Illinois Tool Works (a $13 billion manufacturing group, that consists approx 750 business units in 49 countries, employing some 55k people), Loveshaw Corporation and Loveshaw Europe continue to go from stength to strength. They continue to innovate, manufacture and supply robust quality engineered end-of-line packaging machinery.
