IM Group (formerly Inkmaker Group) has moved its UK operations, from Kettering and Newmarket to more spacious premises in Cambridgeshire, England.
The expansion of IM Group’s UK foothold comes on the back of increased business in the area since the recognised British brands—Rexson and Vale-tech—became part of IM Group in 2019. The new 3,000 sq. ft (270 sq m) premises will serve as the central hub for the group’s sales, customer service, and maintenance operations in the United Kingdom. Martin Black, IM Group’s General Manager for the UK (pictured), expressed, “The additional space will enable us to enhance our service offerings for our UK-based clientele. Moreover, the strategic location between Rexson’s former base in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and Vale-tech’s former location in Newmarket, Suffolk, will bring both teams together, optimising logistics, resource management, and communication.”
