Polestar Petty is to install its second new 64-page press in six months as it takes delivery in May 2004 of a four-unit Heidelberg Sunday 4000 press.
The Guardian Weekend magazine is printed at Polestar Sheffield.
Bob Steadman, director of production, distribution and sales at Guardian News and Media, commented: "We have had an excellent relationship with Polestar for a number of years, so the company was an obvious choice when it came to relocating the Observer work.
Polestar has continued to do an excellent job since then and we are very pleased to have formalised these arrangements." Polestar's category director, Steve Miles, said: "Although our contract for the Guardian Weekend supplement was not due for renewal until the autumn, with the Observer coming on stream, it made sense to review this at the same time and make any necessary adjustments to ensure we could continue to meet the schedule requirements of all our customers.
We are delighted to have strengthened our relationship with Guardian Media Group, in particular on its flagship titles.".
