Industrial Textiles and Plastics (ITP) Ltd, a Yorkshire-based manufacturer specialising in protective textiles for the construction sector, has announced a major investment to expand its production capacity.
The Easingwold company has installed a new state-of-the-art large-format digital printer, a move it says will enhance the quality and efficiency of its printed scaffold sheeting and temporary containment products.
ITP said the investment, which forms part of a wider plan to upgrade its infrastructure and resources, will allow it to meet growing demand for high-resolution, wide-format printing across a range of construction applications.
“We have experienced growing demand for extra-large logos, high-impact visuals, and intricate detailing, particularly for full-scale façade reproductions on historic building refurbishments,” said Carl Morse, Managing Director of ITP.
“The addition of another digital printer at our factory will enable us to further develop our offering for applications such as scaffold sheeting, vented sheeting, PVC banners, air mesh banners, and keder sheeting.”
As well as installing the new printer, ITP has carried out factory refurbishments and upgraded its flexographic printing facilities. It has also committed to additional training and the recruitment of extra resources as part of its growth strategy.
The firm’s Sales Director, Matt Thompson, said the enhanced capability would help meet the rising demand for certified flame-retardant products.
“Reliable fire protection is critical in the construction industry,” he said. “Our printed sheeting is third-party certified to meet flame retardancy standards for both external and internal use, helping contractors to comply with regulations on major projects.”
Founded in North Yorkshire, ITP manufactures a broad range of temporary site protection products, including debris netting, filter sheeting, insulated sheeting and acoustic barriers. It also produces a variety of construction membranes designed for building envelope protection, such as breather membranes, vapour control layers, and roofing underlays.
The company supplies its products globally through a growing export division, with an expanding presence in multiple international markets.
