Oaktree Press has installed its first 10-colour press, a B1 Heidelberg that cost just over 1m.

The south-east London firm will mainly use the press for its existing commercial four- and five-colour work.

Oaktree is now two years on from its MBO (PrintWeek, 1 September 2000) and fulfilled its plans to invest in CTP with the purchase of a Creo Lotem platesetter 12 months ago. It has also expanded its finishing capabilities with a Wohlenberg guillotine and Baumann finishing line.

Joint managing director Les Newnham said: We plan to buy a second perfecting machine and move to bigger premises over the next year.

Oaktree has 54 staff and a turnover of 6.5m. It also recently gained ISO 9001/2000 accreditation after 12 months of preparation.
