The digital print provider has ‘ramped up’ sustainability efforts with investments of over £1m
ARC-UK Technologies, a provider of digital print and document imaging services based in London and Dartford, has reported its investment in sustainability has led to a £1m investment after doubling its turnover in just three years.
The company which provides vinyl displays and retail signage has increased turnover by 56% from £5.9m in 2021 to £9.2m in 2023.
In 2022 ARC-UK said it was one the first print businesses in the UK to work towards having a carbon net zero headquarters by creating a 30,000sq ft multi-million-pound facility in Dartford.
The company also worked with property and investment company, Landsec, to form a strategic partnership to reduce carbon emissions and help support the local council’s carbon neutral strategies.
In order to do this the two companies worked together to create neutral print production at Landsec’s major retail destinations in Leeds, Dartford, London, Somerset, Hertfordshire, Portsmouth, Oxford, Cardiff, Essex, and West Yorkshire.
ARC-UK says it has witnessed rapid business growth in recent years due to its sustainability and print credentials with much of its technology helping to deliver on quality and green solutions.
Its latest investment in a Fujifilm Acuity Ultra Hybrid LED, which is the second to be installed in the UK, has the ability to print all the signage for a 1.6 million sq ft shopping centre in around 48 hours.
Darren Moorhouse, head of sales UK & Europe at ARC-UK, comments: “The investment highlights our continued journey towards achieving our carbon net zero targets within the UK Government’s stipulated timelines, whilst allowing us to further align with industry-leading sustainability strategies, from some of the UK’s leading companies, to provide carbon neutral print and document solutions.
“We can now drive greater levels of productivity without compromising on neutral status or cost efficiencies.”
The company plans to be using 100% renewable energy in 2024 with plans to purchase 60 solar panels and its site in Dartford.
