Ashgate Automation was formed by Managing Director John Price in 1989. The Kasfold British-built Bookletmaker was the first product sold by Ashgate, with over 1600 having been sold to date. The range quickly developed, adding Duplo and Horizon collators, Crease Matic card creasers, Fastbind range of Perfect Binders, Graphic Whizard numbering machines, Foldmaster and Horizon suction folders, Superfax folding machines, Renz Wire binders and Ideal guillotines.

The range of print finishing equipment sold by Ashgate has a wide range of appeal.
