CEM Press limited

CEM is a leader in the design and manufacture of fabric and wallpaper pattern books, swatches and shade cards. The business began in the printing trade in 1962, in the heart of Nottingham’s Lace Market, were they soon were asked to do work for local textile weavers and spinners. The three owners Carr, Edwards and Morris were quick to spot a need for a printer who could handle the complexities of fabric. By the end of the 1970s the firm had grown and moved to Carlton. New owners in the 1980s brought about more expansion into buildings nearby. It was around this time that the business started to focus on producing pattern books and shade cards and by the early 1990s CEM had become one of the UK’s leading manufacturers. The late 90's saw new management and expansion of the business and customer base. Following a move to purpose-built premises, CEM has grow further, sealing their place at the top by investing heavily into the best machinery, staff training and modernising production techniques. With over 50 years trading, they have a long history of producing quality products for wallpaper and fabric manufacturers. Key to their success is the focus on innovation, exceptional attention to detail, with a promise of high quality alongside an assurance to deliver on time.
