Insitu Group trebles capacity with UK first for Durst P5 350

Insitu Group has become the UK and Ireland’s first user of Durst’s P5 350 all-in-one hybrid solution for flexible roll and board printing, the industry’s ‘best technology platform’. This is the centerpiece of a major investment that takes quality and productivity into a new era, as well as opening up new markets.

Unattended overnight production, five-layer printing options and multi-roll track systems mean more than one customer job can be run at the same time at different speeds. These are among the major benefits of the P5 purchase from Durst, manufacturer of advanced digital printing and production technologies.

Installed just before lockdown, Damian Loach, Insitu Group’s Managing Director, said: “The P5 is amazing and provides the highest single output of any machine by far. It has trebled capacity. Previously we were losing out on jobs because operational times are now so demanding. You have to be extremely reactive. Often it’s a next-day delivery requirement.

The four-colour with white option P5 is the cornerstone of Leicester-based Insitu Group’s print division, Intoprint Digital, which also boasts extensive cutting and finishing capabilities. The £10 million turnover Insitu Group started as a shop-fitting business 24 years ago and has expanded into many other markets other than print. Clients include some of the world’s major brands in retail, cosmetic and other sectors. New market pushes include construction and health sectors.
