£3 million investment for Tonypandy printers
The start of the New Year sees the completion of
the latest round of investment by Tonypandy based HSW Print
amounting to £3million.
The investment in new equipment means that HSW Print has
become one of Wales’ largest printing operations, attracting
printing contracts from across the UK, and employing over
80 people.
To capitalize on the new machinery the company has changed
to a continental shift pattern which means printing seven
days a week, increasing capacity by nearly a third. As a direct
result six new employees have been taken on.
David Hackman said “These new developments will give
us the opportunity to further grow the business and confirm
our position as one of the largest printers in the UK. As
a result of this investment our turnover will grow from £6million
to £8million”.
The spend involved the purchase of a new large format 10
colour Heidelberg printing press, a Muller Martini Acoro perfect
binding line and an advanced automatic waste paper extraction
system.
Malcolm Hackman, director at HSW Print said, “The installation
of the binder and the printing press affords us the opportunity
to work on larger projects than before. We are now in a position
to compete both in terms of efficiency and cost effectiveness
for some of the major printing contracts in the UK.
“By investing in modern equipment we are able to utilize
modern technology to ensure quality is never sacrificed in
the name of speed and, hence, successfully compete in what
is increasingly becoming a global market place.
“In addition, the installation of the waste extraction
process demonstrates our commitment to reducing where possible
the negative aspects of our activity on the environment. Chemicals
and waste paper are removed instantly through pressurized
vents ensuring a safe and clean environment for our staff
and the wider community”.
