UK-based Longcombe Labels moves to larger facility

Devon, UK-based tag and label maker Longcombe Labels has moved factory from Totnes to Paignton.

MD and founder Andrew Dean said that continued growth necessitated the move: ‘After 20 years in our Totnes factory, to which we have added as the years have passed, we had simply outgrown the place. The new 18,000 square foot factory and office complex gives us room to breathe and will give both a more efficient flow of materials and extra storage space.’

Longcombe specializes on harsh environment tags and labels and sells to 30 countries world wide.

Dean reported that the move was completed successfully: ‘Working over a weekend we lost less than three days production. Starting on Thursday afternoon, four Mark Andy rotary presses, three flat bed presses and all finishing, slitting and rewinding equipment were reinstalled and running by the Monday, absolutely on schedule.’
