To celebrate the move, the company will hold two open house events to show off its facility, as well as its range of machines, next month.

The event, on 5-6 April, will be joint-hosted by photobook software manufacturer Taopix, the first UK showing of its machine.

Ashgate will demonstrate the Fastbind FotoMount lay-flat photobook maker, Fastbind BooXter staple-binding system, the Elite perfect binder and the Fastbind CaseMatic.

Ashgate Automation's new 1,486sqm facility is based on the same business park as its previous site, but has enabled the company to double the size of its warehouse.

Managing director John Price said: "We have one of the largest displays of Fastbind equipment in the world and now we have more space to accommodate the stock of Fastbind and KAS products, together with a comprehensive range of Fastbind supplies for immediate delivery.
