Manufacturer of digital imaging solutions FFEI has acquired a new facility for its product development and manufacturing operations in Hemel Hempstead, UK. The company has committed more than £2 million to the project, which will see it move from its currently leased facilities to the new, fully owned, premises.
Andy Cook, managing director of FFEI, comments: "We have a lot of new products being developed both in our Digital Printing and Life Science businesses that need both flexible and modern facilities. Building on the success of our Caslon inkjet label press, we plan to introduce several new inkjet products later in the year, which required a major investment in our infrastructure.
"With the success of our RealPro Workflow and packaging software products announced earlier this year, the next few months will be focused on modernising our infrastructure and launching these new digital printing devices."
The company will begin the transition to its new facilities in early July. The existing facilities will be run in parallel for a short period to ensure a smooth transition and minimal impact on customers.
