Commercial manager at the Midsomer-based business, Andrew Law, said: "Prior to the investment we lacked the capacity to be able to respond in the time scales needed, whereas this is allowing us to meet clients’ needs. It’s not a speculative investment."

The security division, which has a current turnover of £3.8m, has added one foiling line and an additional sheeter as a result of continued growth in its export sales business.

In addition to boosting capacity, the investment has increased the range of formats that Integrity can foil or hologram.

"The Dimuken represents our commitment to growing our share of the security print market," added Law.

"We will continue to focus on the domestic market because the ambition is to be the last man standing but certainly opportunities for growth are going to be more prevalent in the overseas market."

This year the security division will target £150,000 in extra turnover and £250,000 over the next two years said Law.

The security division, which has been running for 20 years, has seen growth in demand for high end products such as Degree Certificates and its cheque business in Africa.
