Eighty years as a family business delivering, quality, service, reliability & value
In February 1932, William Mackay and David Inglis established their bookbinding and paper ruling business as a partnership in Buchanan Street in Glasgow.
Still a family business 88 years later, Mackay and Inglis Limited is now managed by members of the fourth generation.
Investing in new technologies
Over the years we have invested regularly, bringing new technologies into the company and keeping personnel up-to-date through training. These investments assure that workflow and efficiency is continuously improved and that we remain cost-effective and competitive.
We added more printing capacity and typesetting in the 60s, built a new factory in Polmadie with extra print and print finishing facilities in the 70s, added even more finishing options during the 80s and started digital printing in the 90s.
The new millenium saw the introduction of digital colour, processless platemaking and further advances in prepress. New litho presses have followed more recently, with wide format introduced in 2016.
Production
The company is structured around three production departments:
– printing (litho , digital and large format)
– print finishing
– despatch and warehousing.
Dedicated, trained supervisors, with years of experience, head each of these departments, making sure that they run smoothly and that quality standards are maintained.
& Delivery
In the administration department, our office staff supports the production process in sales, estimation and order processing functions, providing customer contact at all stages.
