“ BRING US THE CONCEPT, THE SURFACE
OR THE CHALLENGE.

40 YEARS OF TURNING SURFACES INTO POSSIBILITIES

2026 marks a significant milestone for Novograf: 40 years since the business was founded and 10 years since it became employee owned. While there is plenty to celebrate in our history, our focus is firmly on what comes next.
From our manufacturing base in East Kilbride, Novograf has evolved from a graphics specialist into an end-to-end partner for architects, interior designers, contractors and major brands looking to transform built environments. We support projects from initial design development and specification through manufacture, project management and installation, helping take ideas from concept to completion.
That capability continues to grow. Our recent acquisition of a second EFI production machine brings investment in production machinery to close to £ 1 million over the past two years, increasing capacity, flexibility and resilience. Alongside this, an ongoing recruitment drive is adding the skills and resource required to support our ambitious growth plans.
Our portfolio now spans large-format graphics, external signage, manifestation, wall coverings, flooring graphics and branded surfaces, alongside architectural and decorative solutions including 3M DI-NOC, acoustic panels, living walls and our own eikonic™ decorative panel range.
Increasingly, our role goes beyond individual products. We deliver light-touch refurbishments and refresh programmes designed to keep premises, concessions and customer environments brand-compliant, contemporary and inviting, while minimising disruption to trading and controlling project costs.
Where budgets, programme or existing substrates create challenges, our teams work with clients to develop valueengineered solutions that protect the design intent while improving practicality, cost or speed of delivery.
Specification is only part of the equation. Novograf is both a 3M Select Gold Partner and a 3M Endorsed Architectural Markets Gold Partner, recognising our expertise in graphics application and the specialist installation of architectural finishes.
Our experience also extends well beyond single UK sites. We can support individual locations or multi-site programmes across the UK and Ireland, Europe and further afield, combining design development, manufacture, project management and installation through one delivery partner.
Employee ownership has helped shape that approach. The people designing, manufacturing, managing and installing our projects have a genuine stake in the company they represent.
