These core values are fundamental behaviours that define us both as individuals and as a collective. They are deeply ingrained in our character and they serve to continuously direct our actions.

Company profile

Needham Ink Technologies is a UK based inks and coding printer manufacturer, with a worldwide customer base. Being a family company we have a strong set of values by which we conduct our business and we firmly believe in establishing loyal, honest and long term relationships with our partners.

A FAMILY BUSINESS

Since 1962 we have seen a significant transformation to the business landscape, but our family-owned business remains true to its heritage within the heart of rural Shropshire. We are committed to building long-term and prosperous relationships with our customers and partners, together with a dedication to our employees and our community.

Why We Exist

We have always existed to grow and expand using in ink technologies to build lifelong partnerships.

Today we exist to preserve and enhance that legacy, through our distribution of coding printers and manufacturing a wide variety of inks.

In line with The Needham Group’s ethos, the two primary divisions are made fully independent trading bodies. Needham Inks Limited and Needham Coding Limited are born.
