CHIPPENHAM firm Fascia Graphics has bought a new £500,000 factory to support its expansion plans and create ten new jobs in the town.

After ten years at Bumpers Farm the company decided to move to the Bath Road Industrial Estate.

It wants to develop a new £100,000 printing line, which is expected to generate more jobs.

Since it was established in 1994, Fascia Graphics has grown rapidly, increasing its turnover from £165,000 and five staff, to £2.1 million and 50 staff in 2004.

The company is now one of the country's leading suppliers of screen printed labels, membrane keyboards and graphic overlays.

In addition to the new 12,000 sq ft factory, Fascia Graphics has also acquired 0.6 acres of land adjacent to the factory. It plans to develop the plot by building an additional factory, which will house a state of the art automated line.
