The Eastbourne-based business, which won a Queen's Award for Enterprise at the weekend (21 April), will make its Drupa debut this year.

Traditionally it has worked in the photolab market, offering full service and support to users.

According to group finance director Jonathan Briant, the company sees its skills as transferable to the wider print sector.

He told PrintWeek: "We can handle service for multiple manufacturers, so a user will only have one point of contact – that is a big selling point."

The company has around 240 engineers across Europe.

Briant said that the company's initial phase would be getting to know the manufacturers in the industry.

"We are in discussions with a lot of manufacturers," he said. "We have to build relationships with them. Often there is an initial reluctance to welcome third parties into the environment.

"But we are an addition to what they can offer. Manufacturers are often limited. Maybe they only run nine to five, Monday to Friday. We can extend that and take on evenings and weekends. It may also be geographical; we may be able to offer better value for them in certain areas."

Veritek was awarded the Queen's Award for its focus on delivering the highest quality service and support to its growing client base across Europe.

Managing director Jim Edgar said: "The Queen’s Award is among the most prestigious business awards that the UK offers. I am delighted that Veritek has been identified as a worthy recipient and I acknowledge the tremendous efforts of all of the people within Veritek who have made this possible."
