CMYKhub has provided a sneak peek at its soon-to-be-opened, state-of-the-art headquarters in Melbourne, releasing a new video that showcases the scale, innovation, and modern design of the new facility.
The 7000sqm purpose-built facility, located in Keilor Park near Tullamarine Airport, will represent twice the space of its current premises in Heidelberg, which is spread over six separate locations. The new headquarters on Wright Road will also feature 500sqm of office space across two levels.
The newly released video captures the reactions of CMYKhub staff as they explore the expansive space and witness the installation of industry-leading equipment, including the Komori Lithrone GX40RP and the Canon varioPRINT iX3200.
The new CMYKhub headquarters, which is scheduled for occupancy in September, also aims to set a new benchmark for sustainability.
“The solar applications for us alone will reduce our consumption by around 30 to 40 per cent,” Michael Ellis, HSEG manager at CMYKhub, said.
“And, coupled with everything else we can do on this site compared to what we were doing in Heidelberg, we have great scope for improvement here.”
In May CMYKhub hosted a networking event for partners and suppliers, providing attendees with an exclusive preview of its upcoming factory.
Speaking at the event, which followed the second day of PacPrint, Dayne Nankervis, CEO of CMYKhub, said the new site reaffirms the family-owned business’ commitment to the wider print industry.
“We’ve built a new factory that will take a long time to pay off. We have a brand-new press and a new offset press being installed, a new digital machine being installed in two weeks, and we’ll be moving around 60 machines in three weeks’ time,” Nankervis said.
“But the point of this is that it’s a 10-to-20-year investment for us to get a return and we’re doing it. This investment shows that we believe in the industry and we’re staying here, and we hope everyone comes along for the ride with us.”
Nankervis said the new facility will enhance operational efficiency and secure supply chains, reinforcing the message that print remains a viable and thriving industry.
“In the last five years we’ve invested $20 million in print equipment, which is equipment for every printer in Australia to use – it’s not our equipment, it’s everyone’s,” he said.
“We’re not going anywhere; we’re not selling the company and we’re not looking to get out. We’re not looking to do anything other than continue to supply to everyone in Australia. Our model is built on small businesses using us.
“This factory solidifies that because this is our factory. We’ve never had the ability to have a workflow that is pre-designed. Our ability to consistently get the work out for Australia-wide is just going to be incredible and this should, we hope, improve everyone’s ability to supply their clients everywhere in Australia.”
