The firm, based in Stockport, Cheshire, specialises in locating and selling DI and digital sheetfed presses such as the Heidelberg QM DI, KBA Karat, Ryobi 3404 DI and, to a lesser extent, HP Indigos.

"If we haven't got what a customer wants in stock, we know where we can get one," said managing director Steve Hopkins.

The firm, which was in planning 18 months before being launched nine months ago, has until now been focused on the North West. It currently has two QM DIs in stock and is looking at setting up showroom facilities. "That's the next step for us," said Hopkins.

Installation and support is carried out by a network of freelance engineers.
