Vistaprint owner Cimpress has acquired Dundee-based Tradeprint, which describes itself as a ‘software-driven quality trade printer delivering an outstanding customer experience’.
The acquisition follows those of Pixartprinting in Italy and France’s Exaprint in recent times by Cimpress, which calls itself ‘the world leader in mass customisation’.
Tradeprint specialises in small-format printed products including flyers, leaflets, business cards, posters, letterheads and compliment slips. Dedicated account managers share a site with the production team and can work with customers on technical advice.
‘Resellers and graphic professionals greatly value reliable, professional, rapid delivery of high quality, price-competitive products,’ said Robert Keane, president and chief executive officer of Cimpress. ‘With Tradeprint, we’ve found a partner that delivers consistently on those criteria thanks to a highly talented and focused team.’
‘We believe that speed is one of the next frontiers in the trade print business. Tradeprint offers same day production and next day delivery throughout the UK. That is an incredibly valuable service to resellers who are usually operating under very tight deadlines,’ he added.
The Cimpress mass customisation platform will enable Tradeprint to increase the breadth and depth of the product range offered to its customers, and to benefit from Cimpress’s scale and knowledge in manufacturing and supply chain operations.
‘The number one job of everyone at Tradeprint is to make our customers successful,’ said Tradeprint managing director Rod Scrimgeour. ‘Thanks to the financial, technological, product breadth and supply chain strength at Cimpress, we look forward to delivering even greater value to our customers.’
