Prisma expects to continue with its current “double-digit” growth rate for a foreseeable future, adding that its growth has been in the double-digit range for the past six years.

Following strong performances in Poland, Scandinavia and Germany, Prisma said it is now focused on consolidating its presence in the Italian market,.

“The improving Italian manufacturing sector means that manufacturers are requiring advanced colouring solutions, in order to give them a competitive edge.

“Prisma Colour is benefiting from the growing Italian market, just as we are with our other markets across Europe,” added Johnson.

The Glossop, Derbyshire-based group has a capacity of over 15000 tonnes per annum across its flexible manufacturing base.
