OUR MISSION

At Sterling, we're dedicated to creating a future rooted in environmental consciousness. Our mission is clear – to provide unique solutions that not only enhance your business but also contribute to a positive environmental legacy. Our commitment to sustainable innovation drives us, ensuring that every step we take is measured with careful consideration for our environmental footprint

We are determined to tackle global warming and its effects on climate change. Significantly reducing our energy consumption is a crucial way to make an impact. Our latest investment in cutting-edge press technology has allowed us to do exactly that.

More for less

We are setting a new standard for environmental responsibility and operational efficiency. Through our pioneering new web press (the first of its kind anywhere in the world), we can now produce two to three times our previous output, whilst cutting our energy usage in half.

For the same amount of energy we used previously, we can now print twice the quantity!
