Leicester-based Advance Labels Limited (Advance), a BRC-approved, privately owned label manufacturer supplying major retailers and leading food and non-food manufacturers, has secured fantastic finishing performance by investing in the latest British-made Bar Graphic Machinery (BGM) label finishing equipment.
Installing a BGM Elite eDSR 370 easy load die cutting slitter rewinder in 2018 and, more recently, a BGM Elite 410 iSR label inspection slitter rewinder, Advance is keen to stress the importance of buying British to its business.
David Gregory, Joint Owner and Director at Advance Labels, comments: “We always buy British if we can, and with the recent supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic and Ukraine War, our belief in local supply partnerships has paid off.
“When we needed to increase our label finishing capacity and capabilities, we specifically looked around the market for a British-based manufacturer that could provide the machine quality, performance and local service we were looking for. The team at Bar Graphic stood out. They adapted the machines to our specific needs, and we have no complaints about their speed and efficiency.
“We knew that by investing locally, we would secure more reliability for parts and service, and this has certainly served us well over the past few difficult months and years. BGM has been a fantastic partner to us – we’ve been really pleased with the relationship. Their responsiveness and reliability are second to none.”
