SOS will now become the UK dealer for Lüscher Technologies AG
The agreement will see SOS retain the PPS premises in Greet in Gloucestershire, with the facility also expected to take on additional functions.
SOS, which specialises in the supply of CTP equipment, says the acquisition of PPS is a good fit for the business, highlighting how SOS will now become the UK dealer for the Lüscher Technologies AG brand of specialist and large-format platesetters.
“The Lüscher CTP dealership is an exciting addition to our portfolio and we aim to maintain and grow the customer base in the UK,” says SOS sales director Mike Milfull.
“This acquisition is a perfect add on to our already successful service division. In addition, we look forward to introducing PPS customers to some of the extra services we offer including colour management, workflow and pre-press supplies.”

PPS directors Bill Hamilton and Ralph Sheridan will retire following completion of the deal, while fellow director David Binnie will take on a new role with SOS.
“We welcome on board David who will bring a huge wealth of knowledge and expertise into SOS,” Milfull says, adding: “Also, we wish Bill and Ralph a successful and fulfilling retirement and say farewell to two hugely respected figures from our industry.”
This is the second time SOS has expanded by acquisition in recent years, having purchased Apex Digital Graphics in 2018.
