Kalamazoo invests in the latest flash fusion technology due to major growth

Kalamazoo Secure Solutions Limited, the Redditch based security print firm, has further established itself as the leader in this niche market following the purchase of the latest Xerox continuous and sheet fed printing technology and the Lawhill Checksure System.

Julian Coghlan, Managing Director for Kalamazoo commented: “ Kalamazoo has always been passionate about providing our customers with the best possible and most innovative solutions possible. This latest investment will bolster our position as a leading supplier of secure solutions, whether the requirement relates to vouchers, tickets, certificates or any other document which requires a level of security protection.”

He continues, “ Kalamazoo is currently experiencing significant growth and this latest investment will help us to manage and deliver the increased workload with greater security, integrity and efficiency”.

In September 2009 Kalamazoo completed a £multi-million investment programme which incorporated the successful relocation project with its associated infrastructure investment and the introduction of a new Miyakoshi 8-colour Rotary Web Offset Printing Press.

“The Miyakoshi has been in operation for six months and has already proven a fantastic return on investment. We have significantly increased our output capacity and improved our make ready and lead-times”, commented Julian.

“This latest investment, worth in excess of one million pounds, follows a major win for Kalamazoo in the security print market and will ensure the project is fulfilled with the greatest efficiency, whilst maintaining first-class quality standards. Everything is possible with the new equipment and we are excited by the prospect of developing new product and client relationships.”

Kalamazoo has invested in the Xerox CF650, the Nuvera 144MX and the Lawhill Checksure system. These applications utilise the latest printing technology, such as flash-fusing technology, to ensure the fastest turnaround times, uncompromising reliability, accuracy and flexibility.

Robert Whiteside, Chief Executive Officer of Kalamazoo’s parent company, Adare, commented: “The current economic climate makes it even more important to invest in the future of Kalamazoo by providing the company with the technical capabilities and ultimate production facility to position the business strongly in the marketplace and emphasises our commitment to delivering the best solutions to suit customer requirements”.

Kalamazoo , part of the Global Marketing and Secure Communication Solutions provider Adare, is a leading international supplier of security printed documents and secure business solutions improving efficiency of customers’ organisations and protecting them from fraud. www.kalamazoosecure.co.uk
