The firm has installed two MDC Daetwyler combined cutting and polishing units at Flintshire "to improve productivity with automation in our polishing and plating areas," said group chairman Mike Keating. "By putting those machines in we've increased capacity by 10%."

Over the next few weeks the group is also set to enhance its lightweight and security cylinder facility by installing a raft of kit, which it obtained when it bought the assets of Tronic.

The move will increase capacity by 20% at the Mold plant, which operates in the stamp, special embossing and anilox roller sectors.

"With firms like Tronic and others going out of business in the engraving sector and then the uncertainty surrounding Tecnograv we felt that there was going to be a capacity problem in the UK market," said Keating. "So we've put a plan into place to increase the capacity at our lightweight division."

The global project management group's companies also include packaging repro firm Diverse Image, supply chain managers Packaging Networks and operations in Asia, Turkey and the US.
