Denmark's Stibo Graphic has emerged as the firm that will take on the printing of the Farnell Electronic Components catalogues.


Last week, PrintWeek revealed that Jarrolds had lost the contract.


Stibo will start printing a "range of the Farnell group's European catalogues" from January, but marketing manager Uffe Hansen was unable to reveal any further details.


Farnell international publishing manager Monica Proctor said the deal would extend the firm's partnership with Stibo.
Its sister company, Stibo Group, has supplied content management systems to Farnell group companies CPC and Newark.


"Stibo is a supplier that provides service from the beginning to the end," said Proctor. She said Farnell would also announce new print supply deals in other areas of the world in the new year.


Stibo Graphic installed a 96pp MAN Roland Lithoman in February, and in May it won the contract to print the UK editions of RS Components' catalogue, which had also previously been done by Jarrolds (PrintWeek, 5 May).
