BHB Printing – Gallery of Printmaster Series |
 |
For over a half century BHB Printing has steadily developed and grown by adapting to new technologies and holding true to what it sees as the key drivers for its own business success.
Established in 1947 by the Howlett family, BHB has always seen its customers, staff and printing presses as its strongest assets.
Through a long term commitment to these three elements, BHB is able to provide a wide range of quality printing products to serve their customers, which range from small local businesses to large multinational companies.
BHB’s factory floor can best be described as a ‘gallery of Heidelberg Printmasters’. The company began upgrading its plant when they installed their first PM74-2 in early 2002 followed by two Printmaster GTO 52-2's installed in 2002 and 2003.
After four years of steady business growth BHB purchased a PM74-2-P and a PM52-2 in 2006. Adding to the Printmaster family is a PM52-5 which is currently being installed – taking the company’s fleet of Heidelberg presses to ten.
“We have continually invested in new equipment and facilities as the pace of change in commercial print demands it, as do our clients, said Craig Howlett, General Manager of BHB Printing.
“Our investment philosophy is to achieve the best quality result for our clients in the shortest timeframe, so we need to be extremely flexible and responsive to our clients needs. In order to meet these objectives we require quality, reliable equipment,” he added.
“We have enjoyed a steady and mutually beneficial partnership with Heidelberg over many years,” said Howlett. “The Printmaster range offers great flexibility for us to spec up or down according to our plant’s requirements. For a large jobbing type shop such as ours we like the fact that we can choose press features according to the way we operate.”
The latest PM74 and PM 52 installed at BHB are equipped with more options which suited the expanded range of services they offer and enables BHB to react more flexibly to their client needs.
“We are always trying to get the most from our equipment,” said Howlett. “We have three plate sizes across our ten presses and with similar configurations, it will be easier to take on and meet the most critical projects. In other words, we are very flexible in general commercial printing and all kinds of financial services printing.”
BHB are careful investors and as such are not always the first with new technologies, however, they are open to new ways and means and know what best suits their style of work. “We hope we can continue to grow the business, attract and retain our clients both new and old as they are the ones who have sustained us for so many years,” concludes Craig.
