A multi-national banking organisation which has headquarters in Central Europe and operates in over 70 countries with in excess of 100,000 employees, has upgraded their in house binding facilities with the help of The Finishing Point.

Customer Comments
“TFP came recommended to us by one of our print engine advisory team having worked with Chris and his team at several other sites of similar nature around London.

Cannot fault the level of knowledge, courtesy of the team or overall product of TFP”
