Grafenia PLC - Manchester-based printing and software company - Sells its wholly-owned subsidiary Works Manchester Ltd and some of the business and assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary Grafenia Operations Ltd for £3.2 million to Rymack Sign Solutions Ltd. Company says the consideration will be paid in several instalments. The disposal is expected to be finalised within three to four weeks. Says the disposal will see the company transition to a software licensing business.
Grafenia explains that in recent years its manufacturing operations have faced a challenging trading environment and has been operating below capacity. Says Rymack Sign Solutions, which operates as PFI Group, can use this spare capacity.
