Holland & Crosby Welcomes Colormark Limited to the Family
Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) January 07, 2016 -- Holland & Crosby Limited recently acquired the assets of screen printing company Colormark Limited, located in the Mississauga/greater Toronto area. The transaction was completed on January 1, 2016, with production beginning January 4.
An award-winning, family-run business of 40+ years, Colormark felt the time was right to transition, and reached out to firms in the area about becoming part of a larger company either through merger or acquisition.
Scott Crosby, H&C VP of Sales & Marketing says, “We were attracted to the opportunity because of Colormark’s longstanding history of excellence and service, its legacy of being environmentally responsible long before it was common, and their talented people. We felt the combination was a great fit for Holland & Crosby.”
Both companies will be co-located at a new 70,000-sqft facility with ideal functionality for printing and plant workflows. Mr. Crosby says, “We’re really excited to get into our new space and produce projects even more efficiently.” The company’s new technology purchases include two Inca onset presses from Fujifilm: the X1 with a special orange ink configuration, and the X3 press with three banks of CMYK, a 5x10’ vacuum bed and output of over 9000sf/hr. It is the first press of its kind to be installed in North America, and only the second worldwide.
Holland & Crosby has also made significant changes to its cutting solutions, replacing existing cutting tables with two new Kongsberg C Series 10x10 tables from Esko that are expected run 2.5 times faster. With these investments, the company predicts as much as 50% improvement in throughput.
H&C is looking forward to hosting an open house in May to demo the new equipment and highlight the updated facility.
