The three-year deal is part of a strategy to make further inroads into the sector. The firm is the printing business of the Cambridge University Press. The contract was jointly awarded with the CCE's existing print supplier Pindar.
"After a rigorous selection procedure, Cambridge Printing was selected for achieving all our criteria and for its futuristic vision," said CCE test unit team leader Kevin Smart. "This is in terms of using technology within a confidential print production environment."
The contract comprises the typesetting, printing and polybagging of papers from July this year to June 2008. Papers will be printed on Cambridge Press' IBM 4100 digital web lines.
A team from Cambridge University Press, including production director Steve Godden and business development director Debbie Gray, travelled to Belfast to tie up the deal.
