Micropress has expanded its finishing department with the installation of a high-specification Muller Martini Primera Pro stitching line, aimed at increasing capacity and improving production efficiency.
The showroom model is configured with six stations, a cover feeder, and Stream Feeders designed to maximise productivity. It also includes both one- and two-hole punching capabilities, allowing the company to produce items such as calendars, school workbooks, and materials for ring binders.
The new system replaces an older stitching line and has been fully operational since the end of February.
“The new line improves productivity through the Stream Feeders and provides much needed stitching capacity during our busiest periods,” said Micropress production director Paul Coby. “As a showroom model, it’s a high-specification line with all the features we expect from a state-of-the-art system.”
The investment, valued at nearly £1 million, joins Micropress’s existing Primera Pro system and a Horizon StitchLiner already in operation at the company’s finishing department.
Micropress specialises in the production of brochures, magazines, catalogues, and leaflets. The company recently launched its online print platform, Press Print, which enables customers to order stitched or PUR-bound products online.
Following record sales in 2025, Micropress is forecasting turnover of £34 million in 2026 and currently employs 200 people.
“This addition comes at an exciting time for Micropress, with the launch of Press Print and continued growth in our traditional print business. We also anticipate a greater foothold in the school workbook market, thanks to the new 2-hole punch capability,” added joint managing director Rob Cross.
