API completes £3m Salford revamp

PACKAGING firm API Holographics has completed £3m of improvements at its site in Salford.

It has made the investment at its holographics arm which helps companies tackle fraud and counterfeiting by developing holographic logos on packaging.

It has beefed up security at the site and created a “visitors’ suite” which features a showroom, a design area and meeting rooms.

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.”

He added: “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.”

Stockport-headquartered API employs 220 people in Greater Manchester and a further 350 at sites in Scotland, the US, Europe and Asia.
