67 of the circa 850 employees based at the Cambridge facility have completed more than 25 years’ service, including four that have clocked up over 35 years’ service.

Employing 2,700 people worldwide, the commercial inkjet printing and industrial coding, marking and labelling equipment manufacturer has facilities in China, Germany, India, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US and sells to more than 120 countries through a global network of 25 subsidiary offices and more than 200 distributors.

Domino chief executive Nigel Bond said: “People are a company's greatest asset. We believe that we have such high levels of staff retention because we recognise achievement, reward performance and provide training, support and encouragement for them to progress within the business.

“Hopefully by creating a motivational and aspirational workplace environment, we encourage our staff to do more for our customers.

“We recognise the importance of having a shared corporate vision and values, whereby every member of staff is made aware that they each have an important role to play in helping us achieve our corporate goals.”

Domino staff were joined at the event by Graeme Minto, who founded the business in 1978 after recognising the potential of a single continuous inkjet application.

A breakthrough for the company came in 1980 when product identification was introduced, with the EEC directive to label perishable goods with 'best before' and 'use by' dates.

This rapidly expanded the market for Domino’s inkjet printers into many different sectors, such as food, beverage, life sciences and industrial.

Among numerous other accolades, the firm’s growth and achievements have resulted in six Queen’s Awards, the most recent in April 2017 when it received the Queen’s Award for Innovation.

Last month the business opened a new fluids manufacturing facility in Liverpool to increase its productivity and capacity and reduce lead times.
