Service Graphics, the UK's leading graphics group, has acquired Image Factory Retail Graphics Ltd, one of the UK's leading producers of POS and POP for the retail and brand marketing sectors.

Image Factory builds great things from creative ideas, using the best digital technology available. The business operates a state-of-the-art facility in Chippenham employing a team of 60.
