Borcombe SP, the commercial printer owned by Media Print and Investments (MPI), has completed installation of a new long perfector and made clear its intentions to improve its environmental credentials.
The Romsey-based company has this week completed the installation and commissioning of a new Heidelberg 12 Colour Speedmaster with Cutstar.
A raft of finishing kit, including a Wohlenberg PUR binding line and Sitma mailing line, has also been commissioned.
Simon Hunt, the recently-appointed managing director of the £15m-turnover firm, has overseen the installation and the recruitment of 20 new staff to run the kit.
MPI chief executive Mike Dolan said: "With the demise of Butler and Tanner (B&T), Borcombe now represents around 50% of the overall business. The company has been something of a flagship for us as it was the first company we acquired two years ago."
The company has now introduced a night shift throughout the finishing department to handle the additional workload.
It is also currently testing and developing a new methodology standard to measure green house gas emissions – PAS2050.
The BPIF has been working closely with Borcombe and the BSI2 to develop the methodology, which is expected to be ratified as a standard in June or July.
Dolan added the Friary Press' move from B&T into the Goodman Baylis premises at Worcester was half complete.
"We lost some business because of the situation with Friary Press at Butler and Tanner; we let a few customers down. We are now making a serious effort to win that back… I hope that we succeed in Worcester where we were unable to in Frome."
