Advance Labels installs Proflex 330 from Focus Label Machinery

Leicestershire-based label printer Advance Labels has installed its second Proflex 330, manufactured and supplied by Focus Label Machinery.

The new press will complement an existing Proflex 330, enabling the company to expand capacity and provide a broader range of medium and high-volume labels across specific market sectors.

The Proflex 330 is modular for future growth and application-based.

Advance Labels managing director David Gregory commented: 'At Advance Labels, we are constantly seeking new and improved manufacturing processes and have made this substantial investment in state-of-the-art printing technology. We are a family-owned business, and our staff retention is 100 percent, giving value to our family-mindset business ethics.

'This latest investment represents a further continuation of our partnership with Focus and supports our growth to our market. Over the last three years, the business has been growing by around 20 percent each year.

'For the last two years' BRC audits, we achieved AA grade, which is thanks to our fully skilled and quality-focused staff and directors.'

Gregory continued: 'We find the Proflex very simple to operate, and the press was in full production within a few days after delivery. Over the years we have invested with Focus, they have always been very helpful and professional, and throughout this procurement and installation process, it has been a pleasure to work with them. Our directors have strong values in supporting British manufacturing, and our past four presses have all been purchased from family-owned companies.'

James Thomas, head of sales at Focus, added: 'Our partnership with Advance Labels brings together their market knowledge excellence, plus our own considerable printing and finishing expertise and support. This partnership continues to open up exciting new avenues for Focus and Advance Labels as they are always looking for an alternative way to provide quality production print services. We have built a strong relationship with them over many, many years, and we are delighted that they have again chosen to partner with Focus in this latest venture.'
