The specialist in static control, air technology and web cleaning systems is enjoying 30% year-on-on-year growth in turnover, with strong orders from South America, said marketing co-ordinator Milosz Ferchow. It has leased a nearby 400sqm building to use as a production plant for Web Cleaners, IonRinse and JetStream product ranges. The company has also taken on three more staff, taking its total roll-call to around 35, and added two distributors, one in Peru the other Brazil, to its rota of 50 companies. Chief execitve Chris Francis said: “Production demand played a big part in our expansion. TakClean and the CyClean products have performed well because they are suitable for so many different markets and applications, such as labelling, converting, packaging and plastics.” “Being in the unique position of offering four different technologies in our web-cleaning system range has been key in helping us grow this side of our business both domestically and abroad,” he said of the new block with admin offices and mezzanine dedicated to R&D. Francis added: “Static has always been a key focus for our business, while we are constantly working on the development of new solutions in air technology. A new test room allows us to conduct checks on our equipment and showcase Meech’s products to visitors.” Meech has developed a strong presence in the static and web-cleaning markets across the world and has offices in Central and Eastern Europe, China, India and the USA. It also serves Israel, Australia, Brazil, Japan and South Korea. The company, founded in 1907, holds a Queen’s award for enterprise in international sales....

The new B3 GH525, from UK distributor Printers Superstore, has replaced a four-colour Shinohara press at the Barnsley, Yorkshire-based company; a second, two colour, Hans Gronhi is due in October, said joint managing director Dan Brook. The investment includes two digital presses, an MGI Meteor DP8700 XL supplied by MGI, and a new Xerox 800 to run alongside the firm’s existing Xerox 1000. Spin Print Solutions has also replaced Horizon finishing kit with a Duplo System 5000 Pro stitching line, supplied by Duplo. “We hope this investment will take our £1.6m turnover to £2m within around six months,” said Brooks, who runs the company with Glyn Johnson. “It is about servicing the customers we have and trying to add new print management customers to our portfolio. “We deal with print management companies who buy a range of products from digital to litho to large format, so we have to be versatile and compete across the whole spectrum, whether it’s one or 100,000 sheets,” said Brook. “We have invested in every key area of our business.” The GH525 could run off 19 or 20 jobs a shift with average print runs of 1,000 to 5,000 SRA3 sheets. While Ryobi and Heidelberg kit could take heavier stock, SPS has a five-colour Komori Lithrone 528 B2 machine that can take those weights. “We chose the Hans Gronhi because we needed a new machine to cope with an ever increasing demand for B3 litho print. We have a regular contract to print on silk stocks, which requires sealing. We were doing it on our old-four colour and sealing on a GTO. This was wasteful.”...
