Aaron Klewchuk has recently purchased Impro Printing in a pre-liquidation package
Owner of Ballyprint and Perfect Day Print, Aaron Klewchuk, has purchased Belfast-based business Impro Printing.
Impro Printing is one of Northern Ireland’s most respected printing companies, specialising in B2 sheet-fed litho for industries like banking, legal, hospitality, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical.
The new owner also owns Ballymena-based printing firm Ballyprint, which largely produces commercial work, as well as Perfect Day Print which produces high-end wedding stationary.
Klewchuk hopes to return his new company to its pre-pandemic levels by investing £250,000 in stitching and binding machinery to build on its finishing capabilities.
Impro was purchased for an undisclosed sum, but with the sale of company assets and new investment, it is hoped the company can solidify the future of its employees and its place in the industry.
Klewchuk comments: “I was extremely pleased to be able to purchase Impro Printing. I’d been looking for some time to extend my business portfolio and the timing was right as this is a company with an excellent reputation in the printing world. This is also a great opportunity to build on this company’s legacy of some 40 years in business and grow it alongside the other companies.”
Kirk Dominy, one of Impro’s longest-serving employees, has now been appointed as operations director, while Gavin Leitch has been recruited as the new sales director.
Klewchuk adds: “Dominy is a long-term employee who knows the business inside and out and will fit into this new role immediately. The appointment of Gavin Leitch as sales director is key to our new business plans and I look forward to welcoming him to the company this month where he will be, very soon, engaging with our customer base.
“2023 has got off to a good start. There is much work to do but I’m very much looking forward to working with the team at Impro Printing and our customers.”
