Pioneer® Balloon Company and Northstar Balloons Announce Strategic Alliance to Exploit New Balloon Making Technology

Today Pioneer Balloon Company and Northstar Balloons LLC announced a strategic alliance under which the companies will work together to bring balloons utilizing Northstar’s new MicroSeal™ balloon-making technology to customers throughout the world.

Pioneer is now shipping new shaped balloons utilizing the technology as part of its Valentine’s Day Collection and its new Qualatex® Diamond Expressions™ lines. The designs all feature contemporary graphics and are available from Qualatex® distributors. The companies have planned an aggressive schedule of new shaped, everyday designs in the weeks and months ahead.

“The MicroSeal technology enhances the impact of the balloon design by virtually eliminating any visible seal,” said Ted A. Vlamis, president of Pioneer. He added, “It allows us new design options that give customers unique new balloons.”

benefit the balloon industry,” Kieves said. “Northstar Balloons has developed a new technology to produce product that is both more intricate and higher quality than any balloons on the market today. We look forward to introducing a stream of new products.”

Vlamis added, “Over the last several years, Pioneer invested several million dollars in new printing technology that gives us unsurpassed printing quality and flexibility. Through our alliance with Northstar, we now have state-of-the-art balloon making capability that allows us to better take advantage of this printing equipment investment.”
