Labelgraphics moves into new site after £7.5m spend

Wine and spirit labelling firm Labelgraphics has moved into a new facility following a £7.5m investment

The 4,646sqm site, on Clydebank Business Park, is the culmination of a five year investment programme with new kit including an HP 6600, a Gallus 12-colour press, a 10-colour EMS 510 press and a Digicon digital press finishing machine.

Labelgraphics makes pressure sensitive labels for the drinks industry and clients include Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal, Ballantine’s and Jacob’s Creek. Earlier this year Labelgraphics became part of the US-based Multi-Color Corporation.

Alex Mulvenny, Labelgraphics managing director, said: “While our new facility raises our production capacity significantly by taking us from 30,000sq ft to 50,000 sq ft, the fact that we purchased sufficient land to expand by another 40,000 sq ft, effectively future proofs our position within Clydebank and signals our confidence in the potential for further significant growth.

“The relocation has already enabled us to add a further 20 staff to our payroll, which now numbers 100 employees, and we have invested significantly in new capital equipment which allows us to offer our customers innovative, high quality labelling solutions unavailable elsewhere in the UK.”
The new facility features “photo voltaic roof panels” designed to allow the company to generate a portion of its own power and sell power back to the national grid.
