“We couldn’t be prouder to receive recognition for our continued efforts and commitment to grow the company in such a prestigious way. The Queen’s Award is an honour that is admired across the globe, not just in the UK - and it deeply matters to every one of us at Diamond Dispersions,” Keith Malone, commercial manager, Diamond Dispersions said in a company press release.
Diamond Dispersions has responded effectively to the rapidly growing digital print market by supporting customers as they seek to deliver customisation, shorter print runs, just-in-time manufacturing, and a desire for reduced stocks and wastage.
“Over the last few years, our strategic planning has driven us to work more closely with print machine manufacturers (OEMS), enabling them to develop bespoke ink products. The closer relationships we’ve built have been a key driver to our sales growth over the last three years. We’ve also developed specific products for use in the pigmented digital textile printing market, which has huge potential for growth. Pigment-based digital printing of cotton textiles, in particular, is much more environmentally friendly than dye-based printing as it requires less energy and water and eliminates waste-water effluent Andrew Grantham, marketing manager, Diamond Dispersions said.
