Communisis sees new technology gains and trades in line

The Leeds-based firm said plans to revamp its Direct Mail business are on schedule - but will involve some restructuring costs.

It has successfully commissioned a Hewlett Packard high-speed colour digital platform, and "customers are already seeing the benefit".

This technology allows customers to access personalised full-colour messaging at faster output speeds.

However, it means the removal of some offset printing equipment, which Communisis said will results in restructuring costs.

The group added the second phase of restructuring its pension scheme is underway.
