Wincanton Print has invested 2m in new equipment and appointed a new sales representative in a bid to increase its 4m turnover.


"We have gone from a three-man outfit eight years ago with a 200,000 turnover to a staff of 35 and a 4m turnover on recommendation and word of mouth," said managing director Steve Taylor.


The investment includes a Heidelberg Speedmaster 74-10P, a new CD 74-5LX, and an Agfa Galileo CTP system.


"The CD 74 will provide new opportunities for us in the carton printing market, and the 10-colour will bring new business from existing customers," said Taylor.


The company invested 250,000 in new finishing equipment earlier this year.
