Chromagene merges with Screenprint Productions
Chromagene of Leeds has merged with Screenprint Productions based in Brighouse, Yorkshire. Chromagene has sold its site and moved its print equipment and existing staff to Screenprint which will now act as the production arm for both operations.
“We are keeping the Chromagene name going alongside the Screenprint Productions name but the latter will be handling all print production,” said Screenprint director Martyn Hicks. This way we think will operate a much more efficient business while retaining the biggest customer base.
“The perception was that Screenprint was a screen-printing business with a small digital department while Chromagene was a big digital operation. Screenprint actually already had a big digital department but with the Chromagene kit that has been expanded. The merger means we also benefit from Chromagene’s fulfillment knowledge, such as digital print installation etc.”
Screenprint owns a second site that had been up for sale and is now retaining that space following the merger.
