Growth for PPB as it expands Leeds facility

Print Solutions

PPB is very confident about its future growth and expansion in the UK and so work has just begun to move into a specifically converted warehouse and office premises at Cross Green in the north east of Leeds. The new unit extends has up to 4000 pallet spaces to store the company’s paper based products along with its new industrial plastics and Westland digital display portfolio. The final move is planned to be completed over the Christmas period when PPB’s in-house sheeting and re-rewinding equipment plus saw and guillotine will be relocated to the new site.

This investment comes just a year after PPB invested in a new warehouse and office premises in London to fully service London and the Home Counties.

There will continue to be very close stock management between London and Leeds with same day delivery available as well as an out of hour’s delivery service if required, with larger accounts often benefitting from two to three deliveries per day.

Managing director Richard Proctor said, ‘We are delighted to have found excellent new premises in Leeds as the next stage in our strategic growth plan. With good road links to the north and the M1 to the south it will provide us with a great base to better serve our UK customers and hold new stock especially large format sizes. PPB has offices located not only in Leeds but Leicester and London too.’

He continued, ‘It is all about maintaining and improving service levels to customers across the UK. We have implemented a new agreement with TNT to cover smaller deliveries which will benefit customers of our new Westland Digital Media products.’

Richard added, ‘This investment is part of our on-going strategy to provide the widest range of plastic, paper and board, display materials and finishing services for the screen print and digital display markets. Further investment in machinery and stock now allows PPB to provide a high value service to sign makers, fabricators and wide format digital markets. Our new product offering also recognises the developing needs of customers. PPB stocks and converts industrial plastics, graphical products, and the newly launched Westland digital display media, Priplak and ProBond (PPB’s aluminium composite range).

‘For our existing customers it will see them benefiting from new products, logistics and expertise. For new customers it will give them the reassurance of dealing with a company that has an extensive history with expertise in their industry that is here to grow and develop with them to offer new market opportunities. Our staff are looking forward to working in the new premises in what will be an excellent working environment.’
