IMEX has recently celebrated its half-centenary, a milestone in any company's history. Established in 1953 as a traditional commercial printing firm called Brynymor Press, it served the local South Wales business community for many years, with a reputation for quality and customer service. In 1992 John Latham and David Robertson joined as company directors and brought with them the vision to expand the company with the creation of a cutting edge design studio. The company's reputation for design grew further when Simon Toft, now managing director of IMEX Group, joined in 1994 to head up the studio.

Two years later saw a year of change when in 1996 the company centralized design and production services, moving to larger premises adjacent to the M4 motorway. This proved to be an inspired decision when later that year the company took over Walters, a Swansea based print and design firm, leading to a period of rapid expansion. Indeed so dramatic was the company's growth at this time that it was included in the prestigious 'Wales Fast 50' awards for two years running.

David Haines, Sales and Marketing Director of the IMEX Group joined the company in 1997. David brought to the management team a depth of marketing experience honed over many years at plc level and in 1999 the IMEX brand was created to respond to clients' requirement for a more diverse range of marketing services. The success of the IMEX brand was obvious with the addition of separate Display, Web and Incentives divisions and in 2000 the company embraced the name IMEX Group officially, as its customer base spread to national coverage and a major investment programme was finalized.

At this time, while still remaining Financial Director of IMEX, David Robertson relocated to America and set up IMEX Consulting USA in Pennington, New Jersey; thus adding a valuable international dimension to IMEX' services. It was shortly after this that the company's marketing focus was re-directed towards a web-based strategy which completed the transformation of IMEX into the modern service driven business it is today, with a customer base spanning the whole of the UK and with many international clients.
