SwissQprint has established a new subsidiary in the UK. Based in Berkshire, its new premises include a brand-new demonstration centre, sales and marketing offices and a warehouse for consumables and spare parts.

The UK team will be headed up by managing director Erskine Stewart, sales in the North will be handled by Ian Maxfield with Steven Pridham looking after business in the South.

Mr Stewart says the entire team has undergone extensive training at the company’s Swiss headquarters and is now ready to offer machine demonstrations, printing tests, technical support and maintenance.

‘The UK is a very important market for swissQprint,’ Mr Stewart said. ‘Our mission is to continue to provide our customers with ongoing expert service for them to get the best out of their investment, while at the same time growing our market share in the commercial printing arena. We will also be increasing our focus on the packaging, specialist print and industrial sectors where I believe we can also be extremely successful.’
