Blue Star buys Dominion

IVE subsidiary Blue Star Group has acquired Sydney-based Dominion Print Group (Dominion).

It is the second recent acquisition for the ASX-listed IVE Group, following its purchase of marketing company SEMA in August.

Matt Aitken, chief operating officer, IVE Group says, “Dominion is highly regarded within the industry, with a strong reputation for quality, innovation and service. The coming together of our collective experience, passion and capabilities positions us well in the market to ensure customers continue to benefit from a wide range of services.

“We look forward to welcoming Kelvin, Kevin and the Dominion team into our business, and are excited about the enhanced value proposition Blue Star can provide Dominion clients.”

IVE says Dominion will be integrated into Blue Star Print NSW, also based in Silverwater, with some equipment being moved, with the rest to be sold, including Dominion’s former sites.

Dominion had made an acquisition of its own earlier this year, picking up Graphitype Printing Services, and 14 of its 18 staff members.

IVE says a number of Dominion’s staff will be moving over, with former owners Kelvin Gage and Kevin Maybury assuming senior sales and relationship management roles in the business.

Kelvin Gage, former managing director, Dominion says, “The synergies between our businesses are compelling. Both have a customer first culture, several decades of proven history and a pedigree of high performance, service, innovation and quality. I very much look forward to continuing to build on our successes as we combine and strengthen our offer to the market.”

Dominion is a provider of creative services, digital print, offset print and warehousing and logistics services that currently operates out of two sites in Silverwater, Sydney.
