Investment in ink plant

Linx Printing Technologies has completed the development and installation of a state-of-the-art, £1m ink manufacturing plant at its St Ives headquarters, which provides the company with integrated manufacture and dispatch of its inks and solvents to customers worldwide.

The new facility will give Linx and its customers the following benefits: enhanced safety features to protect associates and the environment; the continuation of the high quality standards for which Linx's extensive range of inks and solvents are renowned; and an integrated fluid manufacturing and despatch operation which will yield significant improvements in delivery time to customers. The development of the ink plant has been planned in line with Linx's commitment to continuous improvement, and encompasses the lean manufacturing philosophy of parent company Danaher. These advanced manufacturing techniques allow Linx to produce made-to-order inks, improving both quality and ontime delivery.
