Standfast & Barracks, a fabric printing company, with Durst, manufacturer of advanced digital production technologies, has taken the initiative to develop a centre of excellence in the UK. The centre will continue to drive digital textile growth for Standfast & Barracks that has an international reputation for its commitment to quality and innovation.

The announcement of the centre was made at Heimtextil, world's biggest international trade fair for home and contract textiles.

"Our investment in Durst’s digital technology has transformed the market dynamics for our business and helped trigger a new wave of innovation. Most of our collections on display at Heimtextil were printed using Durst technology – it’s brilliant," said Stephen Thomas, managing director of Standfast & Barracks.

"The initial trials for the pigment inks have been extremely successful and we are looking forward to driving forward this planned Centre of Excellence. Digital is by far our biggest growth area. Thanks to the huge advances in our digital fabric printing capabilities with Durst, we are now expanding into further industrial production for our premium quality products. Digital gives us unlimited opportunities and colour variations. This is another huge step forward for our business," explained Thomas.

"Standfast & Barracks is incredibly proud of its rich heritage and, through Durst’s digital technology, it is showing the company is capable of even bigger and better things. It is a perfect example of how a respected company is pushing the barriers and innovation in textiles by investing in new technologies," said Martin Winkler, segment manager Durst Textile Printing.
