Wyndeham Print Direct Installs New Printing Press Worth £1.8 million

17th May 2004

Wyndeham Press Group Plc, a technology-leader in the UK specialist magazines, commercial literature and direct mail print markets, today announced the installation of a £1.8 million new press with the latest in technology at its direct mail facility, Wyndeham Print Direct.

Located in Stockport, Wyndeham Print Direct is one of the UK’s leading producers of continuous direct mail stationery and can count the leading catalogue companies, financial institutions, advertising agencies and mailing houses as clients.

The new printing press from RDP Marathon which is scheduled to become fully operational in June, has ten printing units with added value features such as remoist glueing and die cutting, and variable cut off sizes to increase the choice and flexibility for customers. In addition, the high running speeds will enable Wyndeham Print Direct to achieve quicker make readies and changeovers, thereby increasing the turnaround of job times and increasing production efficiencies.

“We were previously turning work away because we didn’t have the capacity,” said Alan Hodgson, Managing Director of Wyndeham Print Direct. “This new press will provide us with much needed additional capacity and will ensure that Wyndeham Print Direct maintains the highest possible standards of quality and service levels for the future.”

“Wyndeham Press Group is one of the UK's largest and most well-equipped commercial print groups,” said Paul Utting, Group Managing Director. “This latest investment demonstrates our continued commitment to ensure that all our printing operations remain at the forefront of available technology, and in a position to provide customers with the best in quality and service.”
