Leach loads up on equipment ahead of move

Leach Colour has invested in new technology and equipment, ready for the opening of the doors to its new premises in West Yorkshire on 16 May.

The firm's new site will cover 2,787m and will allow it to produce larger orders and improve production turnaround times.

Investment has been made in a second Durst Lambda 130 Plus digital photographic printer, along with a large-format programmable flatbed cutter.

The flatbed cutter, a Kongsberg XL with a 3x2m bed, can be used in conjunction with the firm's Durst Rho flatbed UV digital printer.

Other investments include a 2.5m-wide Mimaki JV3 solvent ink-jet printer currently being installed. The firm is planning to add a 3.5m-wide machine later this year. The new site is just two miles from the company's existing site at Brighouse.
