Blair Nimmo and Tony Friar of KPMG were appointed to the company on 10 October and are now in the process of looking for a buyer for both the property and print equipment.

The remaining nine staff, which were being kept on in a support facility have now also left the company.

Nimmo said: "Unfortunately Thomson Litho is the latest high-profile victim in a very competitive sector. 

"With the advent of digital media, demand for the printed material Thomson Litho produced has fallen over recent years and the company became unviable despite its restructuring."

The administration of Thomson Litho signals the end of a protracted 18-month downturn for the East Kilbride business.

Last month approximately 60 jobs were lost, while earlier this year the company cut 55 jobs at the East Kilbride facility.

Unite had been in a dialogue with the owners, exploring "every avenue" possible.

Norman King, regional officer at Unite, previously said the owners had a number of choices with regards to the Thomson Litho site "and they took the last one".

"The manufacturing operations have now moved from there and it's a sad day for all concerned," he added.
