The United Kingdom’s industrial landscape is currently undergoing a radical shift toward sustainability and carbon neutrality. With the UK government's commitment to "Net Zero" by 2050, commercial printers and packaging manufacturers in industrial hubs like the West Midlands, Manchester, and the London Gateway are facing increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption. UV Retrofitting is the most cost-effective path to achieving these goals without replacing entire machinery assets.
As a global leader in UV technology, Dongguan Yaguang Machinery Co., Ltd. (established in 2006) provides British enterprises with the engineering expertise needed to transition from legacy drying methods to high-efficiency UV and LED UV systems. Our solutions are designed to meet stringent UK safety and efficiency standards, ensuring seamless integration with existing production lines.
Yaguang’s engineering team consists of highly experienced professionals with over 10 years of expertise in UV system development, debugging, and maintenance. They excel in adapting UV systems to various printing machinery models and offer professional guidance on UV printing processes and troubleshooting for our UK partners.
Patents & Certifications: Over nearly two decades of development, the company has obtained multiple patents and CE certification, solidifying its position as a leader in the UV curing industry. Our "customer first, quality first" principle ensures maximum value for British customers.
The UK printing market is one of the largest in Europe. However, the aging infrastructure of many printing houses in regions like Yorkshire and the East Midlands requires urgent modernization to stay competitive. Here is why UV Retrofitting is trending in the UK:
UK supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury's) are demanding more sustainable packaging. Retrofitting flexographic presses with LED UV systems allows for instant curing on recyclable substrates, meeting the stringent "Plastic Pact" requirements.
In the publishing and commercial print sectors of London and Edinburgh, retrofitting allows older Heidelberg or Manroland presses to run UV inks, enabling faster turnaround times and higher gloss finishes that British luxury brands demand.
The UK metal packaging industry (for beverages and aerosols) benefits from our specialized sheet-fed metal UV systems, compatible with Fuji and Queley equipment used in British canning factories.
Our factory utilizes AI-driven quality control and precision engineering to ensure every UV system exported to the United Kingdom meets our 20-year excellence standard.
With a global reach and over 2,000 systems installed, Yaguang is a pioneer in the UV curing sector. We combine cutting-edge technology with extensive industry experience to deliver energy-efficient, high-performance systems. Our dedicated service centers and technical teams provide 24/7 support, ensuring your UK-based production line never faces unnecessary downtime.
