The owner of print, design, and signage provider, Minuteman Press Bath, has detailed recent developments at the company and plans for the future, after having officially acquired the business in April.
Nishit Chotai is the new managing director and owner of Minuteman Press Bath, after purchasing the business from David Ghent, the company’s founder.
Speaking about his predecessor, Chotai says: “David established Minuteman Press Bath in 1998 and has built it into a trusted name in the Bath business community.
“While stepping back from ownership, David isn’t going far. He will remain with the company for at least a year, supporting me through the transition and focusing primarily on customer relationships and sales.”
The company is now entering its next phase of growth, including undertaking a sizeable investment to expand its premises with an extended mezzanine floor. The development aims to significantly increase the capacity of its wide-format and signage department.
Chotai continues: “Our expansion is designed to meet growing demand, improve turnaround times, and reinforce Minuteman Press’s ongoing commitment to delivering fast, high-quality service.
“In addition to investing in the building, I am continuing to invest in new equipment to ensure that we can deliver a wide range of high-quality services.”
The commercial unit is equipped with a range of Xerox colour digital presses and wide-format printers, as well as laminating and foiling facilities.
The company focus is on creating a wide and comprehensive range of offerings to customers. Speaking about other recent investments, Chotai continues: “Recently we invested in a new Trotec laser cutter and engraver, opening up exciting new possibilities.
“It has enabled us to do jobs that we could not have done before such as engraving wooden signs or boards, cork, leather, glass, acrylic, plastic, and other materials.”
The new services have been added to the company’s lineup of core print offerings which includes business stationery, marketing materials, books, brochures, promotional printing, and presentation folders.
Speaking about other services Minuteman Press Bath provides, Chotai adds: “We don’t stop at paper – we also specialise in display units and exhibition stands, mounted display boards, vinyl banners, vehicle and window graphics, and shop signage solutions.”
Minuteman Press is a franchise with an over 50-year history, having started franchising in 1975 in the USA. There are now over 1,000 Minuteman Press franchises worldwide, in countries including Canada, South Africa, Australia, and the UK.
