The new office and showroom is located in Notting Hill, in Melbourne's
eastern suburbs, an area which is already home to many print companies. The
site will also house a new Print Media Academy (PMA) – a state-of-the-art
demonstration and training facility.
Andy Vels Jensen, managing director of HAN, explains the rationale behind
the relocation, he says, "The move made sense across all areas of the
business, not least the fact that it brings us closer to our customers and was
an excellent proposition which secures our cost base moving forward. The new
site has a modern purpose-built office building comprising a fantastic and
functional Print Media Academy (PMA) for external and internal training. The
investment was fast-tracked and approved by the Heidelberg
board within weeks of the opportunity arising."
HAN's general manager marketing and product management, Glenn Plummer, says
the new PMA will not only showcase Heidelberg equipment, software and systems
but will also be a place to meet, network and learn, he says, "We started
with a clean sheet of paper when designing and setting out plans for the PMA
and the result is stunning. We looked at our own experience and that of other Heidelberg
branches around the world to come up a layout and facilities that are
unmatched."
Plummer points out, "the 1,000 square metre PMA area includes showroom
space for presses and post press equipment, a pre-press Prinect suite, café and
training rooms with up-to-date audio visual services and fully integrated
connection of mechanical, electrical and electronic services for
equipment."
