DTP Print merges with Southfield Stationers

Midlothian-based gift and stationery specialist Southfield Stationers has merged with Edinburgh digital printer Digital Typeline Publications (DTP) to create what they describe as the largest digital print and gift producer in Edinburgh.

Adopting the name DTP Southfield, the business will offer a wide range of print services to a range of different markets.

The combined business will relocate from two separate sites to a 20,000sq ft old paper mill building at Inveresk Mills in Musselburgh.

Alun Joseph, managing director of DTP, says: “I am excited we have merged with a company we have known and trusted for many years. The Southfield name is well respected in the market and I look forward to taking it forward.
 
“We will be growing our new facility and product range over the coming months and years while continuing to look after our existing customers with the level of service and all the products they know us for today.”

Derek Muller, who is standing down as MD of Southfield Stationers, adds: “We have always provided retailers with products that will stand out from the crowd, and all made in the UK.
 
“We also work with a lot of artists directly, working closely with them and their original artwork to create beautiful, hand-made gift ranges.
 
“I am proud of what we have built over the last 45 years and believe that the Southfield name and loyal customers will be looked after and continue to grow in the hands of Alun who will now lead the merged business.”
