17th July, 2006: RG Printing bought the newly launched Komori Lithrone S 529 after seeing it at Ipex, the first B2 press for the B3 print house. The South Wales based commercial printer prides itself on its quality and service, with a mission statement “Small enough to care, large enough to cope”. The in-house design and production capabilities are utilised by its 300 strong Welsh customer base. One of its B3 presses needed replacing twelve months ahead of schedule and following much research RG Printing chose the Komori Lithrone S 529 to provide a quantum leap in quality and turnaround time, attributes which will take the company forward. The purchase, supported by HSBC bank, is a huge expansion for R G who see the investment as a springboard into new markets. The company is in the enviable position of having B2 work readily lined up from its customers, which include government, universities and housing associations, but also hopes the press will open doors into new sectors.
Customers are just beside of Mr. Y. Komori at IPEX. Mr. Andy Lewis, General Manager; Mr. Andrew Studley, Chairman; Mr. Komori; Carol Studley, CEO; Jarrod Windsor, Production Manager and Komori UK representatives.
Andrew Studley, Chairman says: “We conducted a lot of research into this press before taking the plunge into B2 as we have ambitious plans for R G Printing over the next six to twelve months. We have significant growth planned and aim to take on larger contracts in new sectors with bigger organisations. The press will speed up turnaround and allow us to guarantee response times. As a young forward thinking company we need to operate presses that run alongside our plans for expansion. By the end of next year we hope to have doubled turnover, and if that happens we will need another press to go in the unit we have recently purchased behind our factory.” R G has also purchased a new CTP system.
