A Brief History of The Montgomery Litho Group
January 1983 The Print People was established by Thomas Montgomery as a trade printing company.
January 1992 Steady growth lead to the foundation of the Montgomery Litho Group with the purchase of new premises in Hyde Park Street and an investment of over £1 million in new plant and machinery. This investment included the installation of our first 4 colour B2 press and larger format folding equipment.
July 1994 The group acquired M & M Press, taking our largest sheet size to B1.
April 1996 Further expansion allowed us to move to a modern custom built factory in Elliot Street.
March 1997 Due to ever increasing demand for prepress and origination, the group bought a share in Opticol Ltd, a young and innovative reprographics company based in Glasgow. Later that year, the group purchased Arneg, the longest established reprographics company in Scotland.
January 1998 Digital Imaging was formed out of the two reprographics companies, bringing together the wealth of experience of Arneg, and the cutting edge technology of Opticol. Digital Imaging soon joined The Print People at the new premises at Elliot Street.
May 1998 The Edinburgh Press, formerly Bartholomews, was bought out of liquidation, initially allowing the group to get a foothold in the publishing market. Later that year, the group purchased another east coast company, Scotprint Ltd.
November 2000 The Edinburgh Press and Scotprint Ltd were brought together in extensive new premises at Gateside Commerce Park, Haddington, to form the new Scotprint. The new company added large format B0 and cartographic services to the group portfolio.
January 2002 City Print Services, a long standing member of the group, installed the first SRA3 Indigo digital press in Scotland, allowing the group to offer short run, cost effective, full colour printing and personalisation.
November 2002 The group acquired Hunter Foulis, a speciality binding company, perfectly complementing the publishing element of the group.
