policy of embracing technology by investing in their very first lithographic press.
Gareth Jones’ son Andrew, was introduced into the firm in 1979 whereupon he commenced his 4 year apprenticeship and started his long road within the industry that would eventually lead him to becoming Chairman and Group Managing Director.
The 1980’s was a period of rapid growth and also an emphasis on efficiency for S&G. The Company moved from B2 to B1 sheet size, established its commercial print division and also launched its finishing arm, Pelican Print Finishing. This allowed the Company to offer a wider range of services and also decrease its cost base, passing these savings on to their increasing list of loyal clients.
The next decade saw yet another relocation and S&G moved into a purpose built 75,000 square ft plant at Goat Mill Road, Merthyr Tydfil in 1995, with this facility increasing to a total of 125,000 square ft in 2003.
Now in 2012 S&G Print Group is a fourth generation, award-winning
litho printer employing 220 dedicated people. The Company possesses the printing capabilities and experience that are the envy of the whole industry.
They have faced all challenges head- on including recent uncertain trading conditions and unrealistic competitor pricing, to find ourselves in a position of strength and success increasing profit by 1,248% from March 2010 to March 2011.
The diverse range and sheer volume of titles that S&G currently print, allows us as a Company to display our full range of skills as the industry’s leading sheetfed magazine printing company.
With state-of-the-art AGFA graphic equipment, the most advanced
Heidelberg presses in Europe, colour management processes, Stahl folders, perfect binding, saddle stitching, mailing lines, a fleet of delivery vehicles, not to mention expert customer service and apprentice and management programmes, S&G has the firepower and knowledge other companies seek to emulate.
