Polestar extends Hachette portfolio

Polestar Chantry has been awarded three new contracts by Hachette Filipacchi to produce <i>Sugar</i>, <i>Elle Decoration</i> and <i>Real Homes</i>.

Sugar is 136pp and has a run length of 400,000 copies, while Elle Decoration is 160pp and has a run length of 120,000 copies. Both were previously produced by Cooper Clegg.

Real Homes is 160pp, has a run length of 150,000, and was previously produced at Wyndeham Heron.

With these latest wins, Polestar has become Hachette's largest print supplier in the UK, producing seven of its nine titles.

"We review the production of our titles on a regular basis," said Hachette production director John Hughes. "The short cut-off press at Polestar Chantry suits our products sizes and offer productivity benefits over and above high performance and quality."

Chantry also produces Red, Elle, B and Psychologies for Hachette.
