Managing director Philip Warner said: "Its not a pure capacity investment as we will semi-decommission some of our older pieces of kit. Our existing M600 has a median run length of around 14,000 copies, so we will be doing that sort of magazine work."
He said that although Warners had looked at "some very good presses" from MAN Roland, KBA and Komori, the workflow and performance of the companys exiting M600 were the decisive factors.
The firm predicts that it will have a turnover of 22m this year, which would equate to a joint turnover of around 32m with sister company Warners Publishing.
Warners Midlands also has Komori System 38 and 40 four-colour presses, a five-colour Komori Lithrone 540 and a four-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster CD102 with UV varnishing.
