06/05/08

Prinovis Liverpool - Europe's largest and newest gravure ‘supersite’ - is now in full production.

Printing officially started on 1 July 2006, eight months after construction began.

As of 1 May this year, all four of the Prinovis presses are running at full capacity, producing 170,000 tonnes of print per year.

Managing Director Richard Gray said: "We have made substantial moves forward in terms of reliability and time sensitivity.

"We have moved from being a project to an operation, and we are starting to leverage what we've been doing here."

The 65,000sqm custom-built facility employs 430 staff and houses four KBA rotogravure presses, one 2.75m and three 4.32m.

Clients include OK! Magazine, the Argos and Woolworths catalogues, and the Sunday Times package: Style, Culture and the Sunday Times Magazine.

The site has a combined heat and power station, which generates steam and electricity and has been patented by Prinovis.

"We're an extremely modern facility and the site is designed specifically around the gravure process.”
