Increased Spacer Print Capacity
DGS invest in more capacity at its Donington HQ.
The ever increasing demand for printed warm edge products has necessitated further investment by DGS to, again, increase printing capacity. Managing Director David Aucott says,
"The increase in demand for printed warm edge bar has been quite extraordinary. We have been struggling for some time to keep pace with the phenomenal increase in sales of these products and we had no choice but install another printing line at our Donington hub. We now have a number of lines and combining these with shift working enables us to cope with the demand. We always have an eye on the need to maintain and improve current customer serviceability and this commitment should not be compromised by new business. I am quite sure that yet another line will be required in the near future and the planning for this is at an advanced stage. Having multiple lines does give us flexibility and also allows us to thoroughly maintain our equipment."
DGS use high performance UV resistant 'blue' print as the standard for all warm edge products making the print easily visible even on the very popular black bars.
