CS Labels has announced the acquisition of a new dedicated manufacturing facility to fulfill increased demand. The announcement comes the day before its flexible packaging seminar and exhibition stand appearance at the Packaging Innovations show, taking place in Birmingham, UK.  

The investment enables CS Labels to improve productivity further. It will also be purpose-designed to integrate the company’s new workflow optimization protocols. CS Labels will complete the move in early summer 2018.

The acquisition is part of a £3 million investment taking place in 2018 that also includes the purchase of new machinery and the development of smart productivity solutions announced two weeks ago, as well as the appointment of Adam James as Board member and operations director in December 2017.

“Due to ever growing demand for digital print, we have outgrown our existing unit and I’m delighted with this new investment,” says Simon Smith, managing director. “We will enjoy the increased capacity that is so dearly required now and have designed a new customer demonstration facility, which will enable prospects and clients of all business sizes to truly appreciate the power of digital print in action. Our staff are extremely important to us and always have been, and we have also designed new facilities with a complete internal fit out. This includes a new board room, new offices with extra dining, kitchen and restroom space, a shower room and an overall fresh and modern working environment. We’ve come a long way since our initial 5,000 square foot space that we moved into in 2004, plus the expansion into the facility next door in 2012, and this is the first time that we have been able to purpose design every single element of our facility. “

Smith continues, “Further announcements are due to be made very shortly, so watch this space.”
