The existing kit will be moved, although Howitt has been talking to equipment manufacturers about sheetfed kit, as well as high-pagination web and gravure presses.
Howitt had planned to consolidate its operations on one site when it moved to Sutton-in-Ashfield in 2001, but instead opted to retain the separate sheetfed site.
Niel Owen, who left Polestars central estimating team to join Howitt, has returned to Polestar Chromoworks as commercial manager. Salesman Andrew McGuinness is also returning to Polestar from Howitt.
