HoF Display boosts digital capacity to meet demand surge

HoF Display Solutions has kicked off 2008 by adding two digital presses following a 25% growth in its print output last year.

The fabric and PVC printer, which specialises in the production of banners and flags for retail and exhibition markets, strengthened its digital offering with two new presses, a Grenadier and a Mimaki.

The £3.5m-turnover company, which expanded its Kimbolton headquarters in December with the addition of a new 790sqm printing facility, has responded to "incredible growth".

HoF Display Solutions marketing manager Frances Henthorn told printweek.com that the firm has always been "customer-focused" and the addition of the new presses will help improve the service to existing clients, and "hopefully attract new ones".

The 65-staff company, which has recently completed outdoor banner work for Liverpool's European Capital City of Culture celebrations, produces an average of 370sqm of banner and flag work each month,

Henthorn added that the printer, which counts Cancer Research and Carlsberg among its clients, expected the new presses "to increase our capacity by 60%". It has targeted a £4.2m turnover in the next financial year.

The firm, which also has offices in Birmingham and Taunton, was established in 1977.
