About us.

Formed from a desire to introduce quality and consistency into a fledgling market, MHM Direct GB was created and soon became a market leader, joining forces in 1996 with Austrian screen printing equipment manufacturer MHM. We are now responsible for over 700 screen printing machines in the UK alone, not to mention our extensive consultancy work in over 70 countries worldwide.

Our portfolio of products brings together many of the industry’s leading brand names including MHM, Tesoma, Brother, Calmatech, Zentner Systems, Exile Technologies, ASPE and International Coatings. Quite simply, we only offer products with a proven track record, giving you total peace of mind when making your next important investment decision.

Our company has been recognised many times, winning numerous awards both locally and nationally. During 2011, we saw the unique influence of DTG printing on the UK print market and we formed a strategic partnership with market leader Brother, quickly becoming a leading European dealer and award-winning re-seller five years running. In addition, our extensive development work with Tesoma Germany has resulted in multiple awards for creating the industry’s most efficient and environmentally-friendly Textile Gas Dryers.

We have a passion for print and an unlimited in-depth knowledge of the processes involved in setting-up and running a successful print shop. From helping you take those first tentative steps into automatic printing, to advising you on the next stage of your major expansion, we are with you all the way.

With dedicated staff from all areas of the industry, our expertise in the textile print arena covers every aspect, from the initial finance request through to superb post-sale support.

Customer commitment in every area is what makes us the driving force within the UK textile printing market. We will provide help, assistance and expert advice to ensure you not only choose the correct equipment for your business, but receive a level of technical support moving forward which is simply un-matched. We are the only UK equipment supplier who employ our own dedicated service technicians in both Screen-printing and Digital Equipment areas, along with our own Gas Safe technician for working on textile dryers.

Our relationship with our customers is everything and we look forward to welcoming you into our MHM family…
