Over 350 guests attended the 2023 ProPrint Awards at Sydney’s Shangri-la Sydney on 3 November which included the recognition of 50 of the country’s top suppliers in the Supplier 50 category.

The Supplier 50 category winners were announced at the start of the 2023 ProPrint Awards where Platinum sponsor Durst Oceania managing director Matt Ashman welcomed guests to the event.

Running for the third consecutive year, the Supplier 50 recognises those who service and supply the industry and people committed to providing quality service and advice. They are collaborative in their work ethic to find the best solution and must have proven to have gone above and beyond to get the job done. Recipients are judged on the quality of their submissions based over the last 12 months.
