Pulse Printing Products, the inks manufacturer run by former Bousfield Heatons managing director Gary Sheppard, has opened two new branches as business grows.
The firm, which is based in Bristol, has opened sites in Leicester and Dartford.
Geoff Gann will head the Dartford office and Peter Hubbard, another former Bousfield employee, will run Leicester.
Both sites will sell all Pulses ink and coating products and litho consumables. They will also have ink-mixing facilities.
Sheppard said it would have been "impossible" for the firm to fully serve these regions from its head office.
He said Pulse would mainly focus on the two new sites. "Theres no point trying to spread ourselves too thinly," he added.
He said the market was tough but added that Pulse was performing well due to its "responsive, flexible and quality service".
