CS Labels doubles manufacturing space with purpose-designed facility

The 20,000 sq ft facility doubles the UK digital printer’s available manufacturing space and will enable it to improve productivity further. It will also be purpose designed to integrate new workflow optimization protocols. CS Labels will complete the move in early summer 2018.

The acquisition is part of a £3 million (US$ 4.2 million) investment taking place in 2018 that also includes the purchase of new machinery and the development of smart productivity tools, as well as the appointment of Adam James as operations director in December 2017.

CS Labels managing director Simon Smith said: ‘Due to ever growing demand for digital print we have outgrown our existing unit and I’m delighted with this new investment. 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 sq ft 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.’
