Colourwise managing director Martin Bamforth told ProPrint the site in the suburb of Murarrie gives the company “a lot more breathing space”.

“We’d run out of space and we were trying to achieve a lot of different things from the same space we’d been in since 1994. We’d extended on that space three years ago and picked up another 100sqm, but with the business growth we still needed more space,” he said.

“The opportunity Worldwide set up for us was too good to miss.”

The site had been Worldwide Online’s state office and production hub before it entered administration earlier this year. Bamforth said Colourwise was pleased to have an opportunity to move into a site, which was four times the site of its CBD production facility.

“We had a purpose-built state-of-the-art print facility sitting here waiting for us,” he said. “We just rolled our machines in and turned them on.”

Colourwise only “lost one business day” in the move earlier this month, said Bamforth.

He added that that the company was “maintaining a full presence in the city” by retaining its CBD sales office, while the old production facility is being refitted to be leased again.

“It’s important to our business to maintain that customer service,” he said.

Colourwise’s plant list includes an HP Indigo 5500, Xerox DocuColor 8000, HP Designjet 5500, a DocuTech 6180, and various finishing machinery.
