The chemical product range includes screen adhesives, de-greasers and preparation products, photo-emulsions and screen fillers, and screen cleaning and reclamation chemistry.
In each case, the company concentrates on developing products that both minimise environmental damage, during manufacture, use and disposal, and improve working conditions for screen printers, through reduced solvent emissions, the elimination of aggressive or harmful substances and the promotion of process automation, said MacDermid Autotype.
Simon Jones added: "Our new UK manufacturing facility will also form our headquarters from which we can support our customers via our extensive European dealer network.
We have relocated and retained key staff from other CPS sites and will be recruiting as required to strengthen the team still further.
In addition, we have retained the services of one of the founders of CPS, Dr Charles Hansen, who is recognised throughout the industry as a leading expert on the formulation of environmentally friendly chemistry." He explained that the relationship will be vital as CPS begins to develop a new generation of products that will improve the screen and offset print working place still further.
