HARLAND SIMON UK

Over the years we have developed and supplied Management Control Systems to a wide variety of industries. In 1980 the company was acquired by institutional and private investors. Soon after this the company entered into the Newspaper Printing Industry, whilst continuing traditional activities in the fields of paper and board making and converting, as well as in other industries such as metals, water control, plastics, rubber, mining etc. By the late 1980’s virtually all national newspaper titles in the UK were using our management and control systems in their respective newspaper production lines.

Today Harland Simon is the industry leader in Press Control and Management Systems. A whole range of products is being offered under the PRIMA brand name, including some of the most advanced Press Control Desks and Management Systems in use for Newspaper Print Production. A significant number of the UK’s national newspapers use PRIMA technology namely The Daily Mail; The Express; The Guardian; and The Independent. In North America PRIMA is used by such companies as The New York Times, Dow Jones and Company Inc., Chicago Sun-Times and Toronto Star.
