20-20 Graphics invests in larger site and Heidelberg B1 press

Commercial printer 20-20 Graphics is to move into larger premises after it purchased a brand new Heidelberg B1 102 CD 6 LX press.

The 20-staffed company will close its current Bradford-based site and move into larger premises in Leeds during the course of the next few weeks.

Paul Gillespie, salesman at 20-20 Graphics, said the changes were needed to create additional capacity and space.

He said: "We have purchased the press and a great deal of finishing equipment to increase capacity in addition to boosting our presence in the mailings and digital market.

"Digital is a very small percentage of our output, and we are looking to grow that as digital is a necessity in this marketplace. We are also extremely confident the new press will also bring in extra business."

Established in Batley 25 years ago, the company now has an annual turnover of £2m, with plans to expand this to £3m in 2011.

The new press was acquired for a seven figure sum and replaces a Heidelberg B2 four colour press and joins a Heidelberg B2 five colour press.

Farzad Zamanian, 20-20 Graphics managing director, said: "As we move into 2011, we will see the introduction of direct mail personalisation services from all-singing-all-dancing digital printing equipment.

"20-20 Graphics have the knowledge and experience to offer support and advice on a wide range of print projects and are proactive in understanding the needs of our customers." 

The company prints corporate brochures, leaflets, posters, folders and monthly publications for clients including publishers, universities, design agencies and the retail industry.
