Domino Printing Sciences is marking its 40th anniversary with the opening of its new fluids manufacturing facility in Liverpool, UK. Through the company’s investment in advanced industry production processes, the 175,000sq ft (16,000sq m) site will provide Domino with a significant increase in productivity and capacity and a reduction in lead times. The expansion has created 19 new jobs, bringing the total workforce of the factory to 88 over the next 9 months.
Five times larger than the previous site, the new building includes a manufacturing area, quality assurance labs, dedicated customer training and seminar facilities, administration offices and conference facilities, as well as a ten-meter high warehousing space. From here the finished products will be shipped directly to Domino’s customers, sales channels and more than 200 distributors worldwide.
The new facility also incorporates the latest technology, including in-line mixing capability, palletization systems, innovative materials handling processes, automated filling lines with high speed rotary filling heads, and robotic automated handling systems.
“This new facility will accommodate the expansion of our fluids manufacturing capacity in line with growing demand, including a wider range of products and greater volumes,” Nigel Bond, Domino CEO, said.
The building also possesses sustainability credentials, ranging from roof-mounted photovoltaic cells that generate solar power, to drains that send rainwater and surface water into attenuation ponds for natural drainage or evaporation.
