Screentec

What Screentec does

Screentec is a UK-based custom manufacturer of branded promotional products and printed items, operating from a single manufacturing facility at Maerdy Road Business Park in Ferndale, South Wales. The legal entity is Blue Sky Enterprises Ltd, trading as Screentec, a privately held company that has been manufacturing in-house since the 1980s. Its product portfolio centres on ring binders and presentation folders (in Polypropylene, PVC, and Card across sizes A3 to A6 and bespoke), complemented by clipboards, commercial paper products (posters, leaflets, brochures, business cards, NCR forms), signage, boxfiles, point-of-sale displays, industrial keypads and membrane overlays, stickers, banners, document wallets, and a broad catalogue of promotional merchandise. Manufacturing is performed in-house using screen printing, digital printing, litho printing, UV flatbed printing, laser cutting, digital cutting, and bending, with industrial overlay production held to ISO9001 quality standards.

The business operates a direct, quote-based sales model: customers contact the company by phone (01443 730271) or email ([email protected]) for project-specific pricing that depends on product type, quantity, material, printing method, and customisation. There is no publicly listed price list; all revenue is one-time project sale rather than recurring licence or subscription. Customer segments are horizontal and include corporate businesses (primary), educational institutions, estate agents, hospitality, and industrial/manufacturing buyers. Marketing is conducted via an SEO-optimised website, paid search on Google and Bing with UTM tracking, and a blog content programme. Distribution is direct only, with no third-party resellers in the mainstream model, although a Trade Services channel exists for trade buyers.

Screentec competes on customisation breadth (multiple materials, sizes, printing methods, and one-off bespoke runs alongside bulk production), in-house manufacturing control, and an eco-friendly recycled product line. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, no leadership changes, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue, headcount, or financial benchmarks in the available source material. Geographic scope is United Kingdom only.
