In addition, a new perfect binding machine from Muller Martini will soon be arriving.
The company is also planning to buy a replacement press early next year and the company is currently negotiating with manufacturers, over the specification and format.
In all, the new equipment represents further investment of around GBP1.5 million to add to the GBP5 million it has spent since it relocated from Birmingham to Worcester in 2002 and acquired the existing Ebenezer Baylis business from GUS.
Goodman Baylis chairman Clive Parkes said that investment is the only way forward and added: "In this business, we have to keep on investing to ensure that we genuinely have a differentiator from the competition.
Here at Goodman Baylis we offer a truly environmentally friendly 'one-stop-shop' for our customers, offering a full service under one roof, taking the transport issues that most printers have to include, out of the equation." He continued: "We recognise that our customers want to believe what we say to them and it's clearly not very honest to claim to be environmentally friendly if we print loads of work on our presses here and then have to ship it around the country on diesel guzzling lorries to have the jobs finished by external suppliers and then have it shopped back here for despatch to the customer.
We have the capability to print, finish and bind virtually any job we get, here on the premises in our Worcester factory." He explained that the company's approach has the additional benefit that it does not rely on other suppliers to work to its standards as Goodman Baylis sets its own standards and keeps to them.
"That's something our customers appreciate.
And hopefully, they keep coming back to us," commented Parkes.
Goodman Baylis employs 140 people at its Worcester factory and is looking at the feasibility of moving to a greenfield site in Worcester to allow it to expand and grow the business still further.
