Lathco
Based in Sheffield since 1979, Lathco Manufacturing Ltd offer a range of specialised services and manufacturing solutions in electroplating and silverware. They work with their clients to design, develop and manufacture artisan, bespoke, metal-based products to order. Customer focus, quality and attention to detail are their top priority.
When we met with Mark Latham, owner of Lathco, there was no messing around - the brief was simple and straightforward. Rebrand the company and ‘create something fresh and modern which will make us stand out.’ Fair to say we couldn’t wait to get stuck in!
We spent some time getting to know the company and their products, then went away and developed a branding concept which we felt reflected Lathco’s industrial heritage but with a more modern twist. We also aimed to emphasise the ‘Made in Sheffield’ stamp, which Lathco are rightly proud of.
As the company work under strict NDAs, their products need to be kept under wraps. So when it came to creating imagery for the website, we faced a big challenge. How could we reflect what they actually do without showing the products? We solved this conundrum by working with our photographer to capture images that focus on the team working in the factory and that also represent the different services the company offers.
