The project, the latest chapter in the ongoing gravure investment in the North, is designed to serve Arvato and Polestar's new superplants in Liverpool and Sheffield.
The plant will be built alongside an existing Sun production centre for solvent- and water-based flexo packaging inks and a research and development laboratory built in 2000.
The project signals the impending closure of Sun's Watford facility, where gravure inks are currently made. Production will move to Rochdale during early 2006.
Sun Chemical corporate vice president and UK group managing director Charles Murray said that the investment was "fundamental in ensuring Sun Chemical is aligned with the future growth of the publication gravure business".
