What Octink does

Octink is a UK-based specialist producer of display graphics, site hoardings, signage, interior branding, and exhibition & event solutions, founded in 1962 and headquartered at Crown House, 30 Commerce Road, Brentford. The company operates from a single integrated production facility delivering four core service lines — hoardings (printed panels, bespoke facades, timber hoarding, scaffold wraps), display graphics (building wraps, digitally printed wallpaper, office graphics, window displays), signage (illuminated, outdoor, wayfinding, event) and exhibitions & events — supplemented by end-to-end marketing suite fit-outs and project management from survey through installation and maintenance.

Underlying production is built around in-house large-format UV and latex digital printing assets, including Durst Rho P10 (250 and 160) printers, an HP Latex 570, Mimaki CG-160FX print-and-cut plotters, a Kongsberg XP digital finishing table, and Seal 62 Pro laminators, operated under FOGRA-certified colour management. Installation is delivered nationwide by CSCS-certified in-house teams, with structural calculations and risk assessments performed for large-scale projects.

The business operates on a project-based professional services revenue model with quote-based pricing, targeting enterprise clients including major brands (Burberry, Sony Pictures, QVC, Monzo, Smyths), commercial and residential property developers (SEGRO, Berkeley Homes, Peabody, Fairview, Latimer, Pocket Living, Crest Nicholson, Wembley Park, Countryside), and event/exhibition producers (Slick Productions, Royal Academy of Engineering, Battersea Power Station). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by a content-marketing and social media presence; the company holds ISO 14001:2015 certification (since 2009) and is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership or funding history.
