New investment for Superior Creative Services
Wiltshire based Superior Creative Services, has streamlined its leaflet making process by making a £400,000 investment in new machinery. The installation of the digital finishing line from MBO, will make operations on its Muller Martini Concepta press more efficient. It will also aid the cutting and sheeting of six-page leaflets, which it produces for a major client on its narrow-web press. On an average month, the firm's output is around 2.5 million leaflets.
The site's Production Director, Stewart Powell added, "Our main driver for taking on the new kit was that it allows us to free up capacity and run our Concepta faster. Before printing, sheeting and guillotining were three separate processes, but this allows us to work reel-to-reel for the latter two. It has probably sped up our process by at least a third and because we are buying paper on the reel, it works out cheaper and can be folded quicker, which should all add together for a substantial return on investment - it was a no-brainer."
Dawn Reid, BPIF Regional Director for the area added, "This investment is great news for the site, the company is a large employer in the area so seeing investment like this with so much other uncertainty can only be a positive thing."
