Our organisation

One organisation

Pindar is a leading print and electronic media company who employ nearly 2500 people across the world. The family owned company was founded in 1836 in Scarborough, UK where its head office remains today.

Pindar blends its 170 year printing history with a forward thinking and innovative culture investing vigorously in people, research, technology and equipment.

In its latest financial year, the company will have invested approximately £18m in software, equipment and people to help customers solve the communications issues they face and to anticipate future customers' requirements today.

The company offers a comprehensive package of communications services to its UK markets ranging from design and e-commerce to print and mailing while providing technology and content management solutions to customers around the globe.

Running through the company is Pindar's responsibility to the community and environment which is illustrated throughout its history. It has an ongoing commitment to extend that responsibility across its three businesses and all locations through activities with its customers, employees, local economies, and effective use of its own resources.

Two brands 

In any competitive marketplace, it helps to have a strong brand. In ours, we are committed to building two: Pindar and AlphaGraphics. Each means something strong in its own market, and has developed a real presence that is reinforced with every customer experience.

We encourage as much collaboration within, across and between the two brands as possible, but nothing is more important than those brands' relationships with their customers.

Our core value of respect focuses on our customers and for each other. It runs through all that we say and do so that we continue to strive for delighted customers first time, every time.

Pindar people see in AlphaGraphics people a new dimension to the business, a more direct contact with public and corporate customers, as well as a sense of community and involvement in local economies.

AlphaGraphics people look at Pindar people and see the traditions of a family business developing leading-edge technologies and providing the basis for future collaboration and learning.
