Wiltshire-based manufacturer, Fascia Graphics, has increased its sales by a third in the last twelve months, and has reached a landmark £3.2m turnover for the first time in its 16 year history.
This significant uplift in sales includes a £250,000 contract win.
The market leader for the manufacture of graphic overlays and membrane keypads has experienced such a strong demand for its products that it has also increased staff numbers by 20 per cent to meet demand. It now employs over 70 staff from its Bath Road Industrial Estate premises in Chippenham.
The company has seen a growing demand from overseas customers since it launched its export division at the beginning of the year – with orders up a quarter from customers in Europe, Asia and the US. Fascia’s sector industry experience has also been transferred abroad.
With its strong commitment to working with companies both large and small, Fascia has also picked up a large number of smaller customers during the recession.
Paul Bennett, Managing Director and Founder of Fascia Graphics said: “Hitting the £3m landmark is a significant achievement for the company and it has a lot to do with the hard work of all of our staff, many of which have been with the company for the last decade.
"Our performance through recession also has a lot to do with the strong reputation we have built as the market leader.
"This is not only because of the quality of our products, but because our customers value the high levels of service we offer, and how we are committed to building long term relationships.
"We actively approach small to medium sized businesses, as we enjoy growing with their business needs and requirements.”
