Print Setter

Print Setter - permanent position

5+ years experience of printing and mechanical machine setting is a must

Have a look at the website to see the variety and complexity of what we do - note that we are printing round aluminium components - the process is dry rotary offset printing.

Ashfield Extrusion Ltd is a specialist in the manufacture of aluminium impact extrusions and subsequent machining, finishing and printing operations. The Company makes a wide range of products for a number of markets including military and packaging industries. We export over half of what we make.

Owing to continued expansion, we are looking to recruit a Print Setter to set and oversee the running of coating, printing and lacquering machines. This is a good opportunity for a permanent secure position in a successful business.

The print department is a key asset to the business as most of our competitors do not print their own parts. This makes us very attractive in the market.

The Company has a turnover in the region of £9 million per year with around 95 employees.
