Company Profile

The company was founded in 1987 to offer comprehensive technical support to glass and ceramics decorators - principally the producers of containers and tableware.

The Management Team currently has over 90 years combined experience in decoration processes, materials and graphics and an extensive knowledge of products, processes and working practices in glass and ceramic plants throughout the world.

From the outset, the companies focus was on the improvement and simplification of decorating processes, particularly screen printing, which had gained a reputation for being complex and highly specialised. Products like our Kwik Change Screen system and electronic controlled Exposure Units, simplify screen preparation as well as greatly improving screen and print quality and reduce "down-time".

By 1989, the comprehensive range of Technical Services covered all aspects of container and tableware decoration from the origination of artwork and the quality control of unprinted products to the appraisal and packaging of fully decorated ware.

Training programmes were developed to cover every discipline within the decorating department and specialist advice made available to external bodies such as beverage companies, distributors, major retail outlets and design organisations who require information on decoration design or feasibility studies on the application of specific ideas into a finished product.

By applying an integrated technical service package, combined with cost effective decorating processes, dramatic improvements in decorating quality, efficiency and output are achieved. Combining these proceses with customer driven requirements enables GGCade to stay at the forefront of decorating technology.
