BRCGS partnered with Gemini Print Solutions to consolidate global print production and distribution under a single supplier contract, delivering consistent branding, significant cost savings, and simplified vendor management across all publications worldwide.
BRCGS is part of the £150 million LGC Assure Group, delivering connected supply chain assurance solutions across manufacturing, ingredients, and nutritional supplements. With over 34,000 customers in 160 countries, LGC provides analysis of safety, quality, and authenticity, alongside ethical, environmental, and human welfare considerations.
BRCGS produces a wide range of global standards publications that were previously printed in small quantities across multiple countries. This approach led to high unit costs, inconsistent brand execution, and complex logistics, creating challenges for both administration and global brand management.
The key challenges faced by BRCGS included:
High production costs due to printing small quantities in multiple countries
Inconsistent brand presentation across colours, materials, and finishing
Complex global logistics with multiple suppliers, increasing administrative workload
Difficulty maintaining brand integrity across all marketing collateral and standards publications
BRCGS required a single global partner to consolidate print production and distribution while maintaining brand consistency and reducing costs.
Gemini Print Solutions provided a sole supplier, end-to-end solution for BRCGS’s global print and distribution needs:
📌 Centralised Production and Distribution
All publications and marketing collateral were produced and distributed from a single, controlled facility, eliminating inconsistencies and inefficiencies.
📌 Brand Consistency
Every printed item was produced in line with BRCGS brand guidelines, ensuring consistent colour, materials, and finishing across all global publications.
📌 Simplified Vendor Management
With just one supplier managing all production and distribution, BRCGS eliminated the administrative burden associated with coordinating multiple vendors worldwide.
Cost Savings: Significant reduction in production, logistics, and administrative expenses through centralised printing and distribution
Operational Efficiency: Streamlined global processes, reducing the time and effort needed to manage multiple suppliers
Brand Integrity: Restored and maintained consistent brand presentation across all publications and marketing collateral
