Expansion in the works at Springfield Solutions

Expansion in the works at Springfield Solutions

Digital printer, brand management and media company Springfield Solutions is investing £1.3m into an expansion drive after three years of growth.

The company, based in Thomas Street, Hull, is on target to print more than 160 million labels in 2016, the most it has printed in a single year.

In 2014 Springfield Solutions smashed the 100 million-mark for the first time, increasing that figure to 140 million labels last year.

Now, to accommodate further growth, the company is expanding into a neighbouring building as well as investing in new digital print equipment with two associated new lines of finishing equipment from AB Graphics International.

Dennis Ebeltoft, joint managing director of Springfield Solutions, said the investment would enable growth across each of the company's divisions.

The property which Springfield Solutions is expanding into was originally part of the building it currently occupies and together they were known as the Print Works because they housed a printing company. But the two buildings were separated and sold off to different companies years ago.

Now, the work to re-join them will allow Springfield Solutions more than double the size of its digital print division and brings the total number of digital presses operated by the company to five.

"We had substantial growth in 2014 and 2015," said Ebeltoft. "Further growth is only possible by having the infrastructure in place to accommodate it.

"The expansion will enable us to print many more millions of labels and improve our lead times for print and brand management customers.

"This expansion paves the way for the next chapter in Springfield Solution's story which is going to be a great one."
