City of Kingston mayor, Paul Peulich, opened the event and managing director Phillip Rolls introduced the Gravure press and shared his personal thoughts on the way forward for local industry.
Guest speakers at the event included John Roskam, executive director, Institute of Public Affairs and columnist at The Australian Financial Review and Ken Morgan OAM, founder of Kid’s Under Cover.
RollsPack’s Factory and Operations Manager James Luttick launched the press, leading the audience through the features of the Gravure.
The press, previously not offered by an Australian SME, will bring jobs to the industry while offering shorter turn-around times in small and large print runs.
By making the significant investment in print packaging’s future, Phillip Rolls hopes to inspire other businesses to stay focussed on furthering local industry.
