Buxton, winner of PrintWeek’s prestigious Printing Company of the Year award, has signed for what will be Europe’s largest installation of Fujifilm’s XMF cross-media workflow solutions, the very latest in print management and optimisation systems.

Confirmed on the Fujifilm stand at IPEX, the global trade exhibition for print, publishing and media held at Birmingham NEC, Buxton will install the XMF suite to handle the company’s entire requirements for all its PDF magazine pages.

Kirk Galloway, Director and General Manager at Buxton, comments: “We pride ourselves on investing in the right technology at the right time and this is exactly the case with XMF.  We print 55 million magazines each year and we’ve learned that the combination of cutting-edge technology along with our first-class printing expertise not only ensures that we stay at the top of our sector but, more importantly, are able to meet and, indeed, exceed our clients’ ongoing high expectations.

The necessity to examine workflow options had become paramount in our bid to keep pace with our ever-increasing workload. Having extensively trialled the new Fuji system, we are convinced that it will speed up our pre-press processes considerably, strengthening quality assurance procedures and, most importantly, adding to our customers overall peace of mind.”

We are delighted to have scooped yet another accolade at the “2009 People in Print Smart Business Awards.”

Already the proud recipient of 14 national industry nominations and awards, George Briddon, Executive Director  of Buxton, accepted the elegant trophy for “Best Large Print Company – 2009” at a champagne reception held onboard a private luxury cruiser on the River Thames.

“The people that work at Buxton are the backbone of the company and this is a fantastic and fitting testament to all their hard work and commitment. It is especially gratifying that Buxton has again been recognised for its efforts to the UK printing industry particularly during these challenging economic times”.

Buxton has made an impressive start to 2009 with a significant influx of new customers placing their business with the Derbyshire based printer. The new titles, many of which will be printed on a monthly basis, include the entire portfolio of a leading Yorkshire newspaper group.

Buxton has a well earned reputation for reliability and skill and we pride ourselves on our customer service and no frills pricing policy. By using highly efficient in-line paper saving reel sheeters to reduce paper costs, we are able to pass on these savings to our expanding customer base.

Director, Kirk Galloway, explains, “Although the current economic climate is very tough, we are absolutely delighted to be welcoming new clients to Buxton. The new work will provide a major boost for the company and as one of the largest employers in the area, the good news will help to secure existing jobs and create a number of additional vacancies.”

Buxton Press are absolutely delighted to have been nominated in two categories at the Green Business Awards:

Highly commended – Best Industrial or Manufacturing Company

Shortlisted – Best SME

Environmental responsibility forms an intrinsic part of our business and we are delighted that our efforts have been recognised nationally.

The judges were excited by the broad scope of our green initiatives. Having recently completed a radical £12m, five-year regeneration programme  we have created an 80,000 sq ft eco-friendly manufacturing facility with new printing procedures incorporating the latest in green technologies to minimise waste, maximise recycling and  reduce our overall energy consumption.

Having achieved FSC and PEFC chain-of-custody certification, we  are currently working towards attaining ISO 14001.

Buxton is planning to install a 5 colour B2 double coating press, swelling the already impressive firepower of the plant and further equipping us to provide an ever more efficient service to our growing customer base.

In addition to having the largest installation of KBA perfecting presses of any sheet-fed magazine printer in the U.K., we use highly efficient in-line paper saving reel sheeters to minimise paper wastage and reduce paper costs, realising several years ago the importance of providing a cost conscious print option but not at the expense of quality.

Buxton Press has been selected as one of the most successful printing companies in the UK: the verdict of an elite judging panel at the 2008 PrintWeek Awards.

Judged on financial and business performance, we were absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted for outstanding levels of customer service, business strategy and company management – a testament to all who work here.
