Marketing services company and major print buyer HH Global is taking ownership of its business in Australia from its franchisee, which it says is due to strong client growth.

Edward Parsons, CFO, HH Global says, “We are buying out our franchise partner who started the business with our support four years ago, and who has grown a significant and sustainable business for us in Australia. 

“We believe this is in the best long term interests of our global and local clients who served by our experienced and hard-working team in Australia.”

HH Global is the company that has Andrew Price as CEO of its Asia Pacific arm. Price was formerly CEO of Stream Solutions, the print management business that he grew to be the biggest in the country, before he left to try and take over paper merchant Paperlinx, as it was then called.

Parsons says HH is looking to grow the business into a major force in the Australian and New Zealand markets servicing large, global clients and major Australian and New Zealand clients.

Robert MacMillan, CEO, HH Global says, “Australia was the only business in the entire group that we did not own 100 per cent of. We have now acquired the rest of the equity to take us to 100 per cent like every company we own in 33 countries.”

Parsons says the company wins against its competition such as Stream and Ergo is because of the company’s people. He says they also print for Australian customers using Australian printers.

HH Global has 34 locations worldwide. It is an independent marketing execution partner to prominent brands. The company offers innovative and tailored solutions for the outsourced procurement of all types of printed marketing materials, packaging, and creative production services, that drive down cost, speed time to market, improve quality, and increase sustainability.
