SPEEDSCREEN was Established in 1986 in Chatham Kent. Originally the main business served the Advertising sector, predominately London based Agencies and Design companies.

Screen Printing became our speciality, the company pioneering developments in 4 colour printing, working directly with ink manufacturers we were able to produce very fine halftones, at that time the results were a rare quality & cutting edge within the industry.

Screen Printing has evolved from a primitive printing process invented by the Chinese hundreds of years ago into a technologically advanced and precise printing method with fine detail and precise colour management.

A move to Maidstone Kent in 1996 allowed the company to expand with the purchase of 2200 sq ft of modern factory space. It now owns and operates from 15,000 sq feet  and produces a wide range of Printing services for a much broader client base, including many Blue Chip companies.

We are a forward thinking and dynamic business ,and now consider ourselves as a "Print Solutions Company", we offer a diverse range of print processes to match any clients individual needs. Technology has moved on and in the 21st century clients need a company with 21st century thinking.
