The acquisition has significantly increased 2nd Skin's production capacity. With nine automatic screen printing presses in a new 17,000 sq ft plant, the company can now turn out 25,000 prints per shift, compared to the 4,500 to 5,000 sweatshirts a day it used to print. The company has also invested in new embroidery equipment to enhance the department's service offer, increasing the number of embroidery heads from 13 to 19. With 2nd Skin's DTG (direct-to-garment) printing, vinyl transfer, sublimation printing, and laser engraving divisions, Id pro's distributor clients will now have access to a wider range of services.

In a move designed to optimise production and offer employees a stimulating working environment, 2nd Skin is also transitioning towards Industry 4.0 and has started automating its processes. The skills management system developed and implemented by 2nd Skin has been welcomed by the Id pro team, since it makes it easier to communicate with other departments and considerably increases profitability while maintaining the fastest turnaround times in the industry.
