Sydney-based printer, Clarke Murphy Print, has acquired Canberra-based Impress Print that has operated for 44 years.
Benn Murphy from Clarke Murphy Print told Sprinter that the acquisition adds further opportunities to expand its offering to a diverse and growing market in Canberra.
“Over the past 10 years, Clarke Murphy Print has been servicing clients in Canberra and the addition of the Impress business is a positive move for our Chatswood based business,” Murphy said.
“Impress Print was owned by Terry Ward had a very loyal and long-standing customer following. It was renowned for its foiling and embossing and as part of the acquisition, Clarke Murphy Print has acquired the Heidelberg Platen and associated dies to bolster its current offering in this area.
“The ACT market can now tap into the diverse offering from Clarke Murphy Print which is all produced under one roof from offset, digital, wide format, roll labels, foiling and embossing and packaging. The possibilities are endless with company-owned vans delivering everyday into Canberra and its surrounds.
“We are delighted to be able to continue the great work Terry and his team have provided the ACT customers over many years. Our aim is to continue to provide high levels of service as well as broaden the offering. As a family owned and run business we see a lot of synergy between the two companies. We thank and wish Terry all the best.”
