API Holographics, a holographic-based security product company, has completed the first phase of redevelopment at its site in Salford.
A £3m spend on a factory site follows on from last year’s joint venture business launch API Optix s.r.o., which increases the origination options available to customers.
The company, which already holds the CWA 14641:2009 accreditation for ‘security management system for security printing’, has updated the site’s physical security.
The redevelopment of the Holographics headquarters has seen the opening of a dedicated visitors’ suite. This design area includes showroom, meeting area and individual design stations. Each project handled by API is bespoke to customer’s security requirements, the company says. For administration staff, a new suite of management and administration offices has been created and the manufacturing side has also received significant investment with a demetallising line.
Built to API’s specification, the demetalliser and its supporting production line adds to the company’s capabilities for financial and fiscal security applications.
API Holographics Managing Director, Heath Thomas, said: “The result of this investment is very impressive, both in terms of the aesthetics and Customer facilities, as well as our production capabilities and efficiencies. The transformation in both the manufacturing and administration sides of the Salford site is further testament to API’s commitment to continual improvement and innovation. Our professional, world-class service and capacity for design, origination and end-to-end manufacturing is now reflected in our office space, designed to facilitate greater interaction with customers, matched by the improved capability of our production plant. The investments made in equipment and security will further support API Holographics’ reputation for quality and consistency, reassuring customers and end users that continual improvements are being made to support their businesses.”
