Trust and innovation come together
Trusted and Innovative print brands Complete Colour Printing and Adams Print come together.
Australia’s environmentally responsible printer Complete Colour operates with ISO EMS14001, QMS9001 and FSC certifications, servicing a wide market sector of established national clientele with personalised, industry-leading operating procedures, producing cutting-edge quality printed products.
Adams Print, a highly-awarded business, respected for providing innovative print solutions with a rich 130-year history, has earned over 30 Gold Medals, three prestigious Judges Awards, and two Heidelberg ‘Excellence in Craft’ accolades at the National Print Awards over the past 20 years.
Both companies who share a laser focus on service, quality, value, innovation and trust are well-aligned and driven to further build personal relationships with clients and partners, communities and regions across Australia.
An excellent opportunity to bring two well established brands together is for the owners of Complete Colour Printing, Tim Michaelides and Geoff Lawyer, a pathway to create a highly credentialed business with environmental and socially responsible practices, together with a reputation of high quality and personalised service, that fits snuggly into the Print With Trust brand of our business.
Complete Colour Managing Director Tim Michaelides says: “Now we get to combine the best of two high-performance businesses for the benefit of our loyal existing clients together with future prospective clients, who can expect to receive the Trusted and Innovative Print and Communication Services we are both known to deliver.”
Adams Print Managing Director Shane Soutar says: "I am excited to bring the rich legacy of the Adams Print brand into Complete Colour, a company renowned for its industry-leading environmental credentials and commitment to quality. Over the past 25 years, my brother Robert and I have been proud custodians of our 130-year-old company, building a reputation for excellence and integrity. With Robert now retiring, we are confident that this transition will further elevate our brand within the trusted and environmentally conscious Complete Colour family. This merger represents not only a continuation but an enhancement of the values and standards our clients have come to expect from Adams Print."
Complete Colour Director Geoff Lawyer says: "We are thrilled to join Adams Print, a prestigious company that has consistently operated at an exceptional level, playing a crucial role in Victorian communities and beyond since the Gold Rush era. The outstanding craftsmanship and expertise they have cultivated over the decades perfectly complement the environmental innovations and sustainable practices that Complete Colour has pioneered for the past 32 years. This synergy fills us with immense excitement, energy and optimism for the future of our business together."
The businesses will operate out of both Geelong and Melbourne sites, with a purpose-built 3,500 square-metre facility located in Cheltenham, Melbourne. The Cheltenham building features a 200Kw LGC certified Solar Power plant, with perimeter fencing, security-controlled entry, and camera surveillance.
