Wicked Printing Stuff is now part of Screen Ink and Solvent Supplies

Following its collapse in administration in October, the assets of Wicked Printing Stuff have now been acquired by Screen Ink and Solvent Supplies (SISS).

Philip Chong, managing director, said: “SISS is the largest independent distributor of screen printing supplies in the UK. We are Fuji’s (Sericol) main distributor of their products, not just textile. The acquisition of WPS will enable us to expand online which is a perfect fit with our existing market. We shall be offering an excellent service on all products in both a traditional and online market.”

The acquisition of the WPS assets by SISS marks a new step in the history of WPS, enabling WPS to offer exciting new ranges of products to customers while having the support of the SISS operation and expertise. WPS is launching new ranges of inks and consumables starting with the WPS Premium Plastisol Range with inks from Sericol and Magna Colours to follow.

SISS is the largest independent supplier to the screen trade in the UK with a wide range of inks and consumables. SISS has a network of sales people and technicians that cover the entire UK.

SISS was originally set up in 1998 to blend and manufacture its own range of pre-press products i.e. screen cleaners, chemicals and emulsions. In 2005 the company purchased Rondec Screen Process and has the Rondec range of industrial screen inks.

Its range is complemented by products from other manufacturers. These have been chosen to offer additional customer choice where specific product performance is required. SISS also offers products from: Autotype, Chromaline, Ciba, Magna Colours, FujiFilm Sericol, Folex, Kromex, Marabu, Murakami, Nazdar, Permaset and Rutland/Union.

WPS is the UK’s largest online supplier of screen printing supplies. It provides quality screen printing and garment decoration supplies, equipment, services and advice. Established in 2008, the company’s customers range from those who do screen printing for a hobby, to educational establishments and larger professional companies. WPS was the first online trading site for screen printers in the UK.
