A NORTH-EAST company with a base in Darlington has picked up two industry awards.

SCA Packaging won a gold and silver award in the European Flexographic Technical Association (EFTA) 2003 Print Awards.

The awards were for an LG Electronics Microwave pack for LG Electronics.

Regional sales director Graham Tattam said: "We have invested a lot of money and training into our print processes and these awards reflect the results of that investment.

"We work hard in the North-East to produce the highest achievable results in all areas of our operations and it is good to have visible proof of our success. The most important award for us, though, is the knowledge that our customers recognise the value of our print work."

The awards were presented at the National Exhibition Centre, in Birmingham.

SCA Packaging North-East employs 600 staff at Darlington, Hartlepool, Killingworth, Leeds, Peterlee and York
