Following a record January sales month, Mercian
Labels are pleased to announce that it has also completed its plans for
consolidation having successfully transferred its Derby-based operations into
their Burntwood (UK) site, thereby bringing all of its manufacturing processes
under one roof.
‘The transition to a single-site operation has
multiple benefits’ said Dr Adrian Steele, MD of Mercian Labels.
‘Cost savings and economies of scale are obvious,
but with sales and admin now all under one roof, our communications and
cross-training benefits will improve considerably. IT issues have been
dramatically simplified, in fact we are already seeing advantages throughout
the business.’
Mercian Labels employ a broad range of print
technologies which allow them to offer a very wide range of self adhesive
products. 8-colour high speed flexo and the latest in digital printing can be
combined to produce multiple layer products in industry-beating lead times, and
further enhancements are possible with rotary screen printing and foiling.
‘There isn’t much we can’t do now’ points out
Steele, ‘and with a robust NPD strategy coupled with some exciting R&D, we
will continue to push the boundaries of specialised embellishments so that our
customers enjoy the finest labelling available. Manufacturing of flexible
packaging in short and medium runs is now also possible, with very exciting
developments on the horizon’.
‘We have developed a dynamic and very knowledgeable
sales force’ adds Hugo Gell, Director of Sales and Marketing. ‘This consolidation
and their expert advice will allow our customers to see our wide range of
capabilities operating under one roof. Designers and buyers will be able to
make exciting branding decisions and add value to their product portfolios, no
matter how large or small their business’.
Examples of Mercian Labels’ capabilities will be on
display next week at the Packaging Innovations exhibition at the NEC.
