Inkjet manufacturer Xaar is flying the flag for UK print at 'Make it in Great Britain',

The Cambridge-based company was chosen, alongside 38 other businesses, from a pool of 350 to represent Britain at the Science Museum event.

Opened by business secretary Vince Cable yesterday (24 July), the campaign, which was organised by Department for Business, Innovation and Skills will run until 9 September.

Xaar is using the event to showcase its 1001 and Proton printheads as well as a raft of applications made possible by its technology such as ceramic tile printing.

Xaar operations director Ted Wiggans said the event is "an excellent showcase for British innovation".

He said: "As a manufacturer that has been expanding both production and our research and development capabilities, it is an honour to be part of the exhibition.

"We are fortunate to employ a large number of talented, intelligent people at Xaar and this is the perfect opportunity for them to see their hard work recognised."

Earlier this month, Xaar revealed that success in the ceramic tile printing sector helped boost sales during the six months to 30 June 2012.

Revenues were up 20% on the same period last year but remained in line with the board's expectations at the business.
