New premises in £3m CS Labels investment plan
A digital labels specialist has bought new premises double the size of its current home as part of a £3 million investment programme planned for this year.
Willenhall-based CS Labels announced its investment plan ahead of its appearance at the Packaging Innovations show taking place at the Birmingham National Exhibition Centre today and tomorrow.
CS, which produces self-adhesive labels, stand-up pouches and continuous film, has bought a 20,000 sq ft manufacturing facility at Unit 1, Steelpark Trading Estate, Wednesfield.
It will enable it to meet increased demand for its products and the investment will also improve productivity further.
The new premises will be purpose designed to integrate the copany's new workflow optimisation systems.
CS Labels will complete the move from its current premises on Willenhall Trading Estate, Midacre, in the early summer.
The investment also includes the purchase of new machinery and the development of smart productivity solutions.
It follows the appointment of Adam James as a board member and operations director in December .
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."
Mr Smith also hinted that this wasn’t the end of the story.
"Further announcements are due to be made very shortly," he added,
CS Labels is the largest digital label printer in Europe using Xeikon technology
It has been family owned and run since 1976 and employs 50.
