UK – In early 2024, the UK promotional products industry saw the unfortunate closure of A.T Promotions, trading as Listawood Ltd., a respected name known for its cutting-edge printing technology. Following the company’s entry into administration, Keramikos & Thermalmate Ltd., Alfreton, stepped in to acquire its assets, an important move to preserve and reignite the innovative spirit Listawood was known for, as the company stated.
Now, a year on, Keramikos & Thermalmate are proud to announce the relaunch of several of these pioneering products and processes. Including, first and foremost, the ColourCoat spray line, known for its precision Pantone colour matching; a favourite among brand-conscious clients seeking consistency across their promotional merchandise. The drinkware specialists from Derbyshire are pleased to announce that the ColourCoat spray line now utilises water-based inks, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional solvent-based options within the industry.
This revival also brought about certain challenges: The Keramikos & Thermalmate manufacturing facility, located in the heart of the UK, had to undergo significant expansion to make room for the specialised equipment. A new mezzanine extension has been constructed to accommodate the advanced machinery and a custom-built housing unit now ensures the streamlined operation of the inherited production lines. Meanwhile, the stock and logistics have been optimised after the inauguration of a dedicated new warehouse site less than a mile down the road.
Through careful investments and their commitment to innovation, Keramikos & Thermalmate are bringing revitalised products and enhanced production capabilities to the market, stating that a promising future lies ahead for both the company and its customers.
