A plant tour at the IVE Group’s Silverwater premises, arranged by the Lithographic Institute of Australia (LIA) NSW branch, drew in the crowds with over 70 members and visitors in attendance.

The event, held on 5 October, attracted current and past industry players and was hosted by the IVE Print Management team, who generously conducted an extensive tour of the IVE Group’s vast web and sheetfed sites. The tour provided attendees with the opportunity to have an up-close look at the site and witness its progress following the acquisition of Ovato and subsequent integration into IVE.

A dinner at the Carnarvon Golf Club in Lidcombe ended the evening on a high note, where IVE Group CEO print and web offset Darryl Meyer spoke on the IVE Group’s history, services, and successes since Ovato was acquired.

Böttcher managing director Mitch Mulligan, who was the compere for the evening, extended thanks to attendees, the LIA and the IVE Group hosts for the informative and well-attended event. Penrith Museum of Printing president Bob Lockley then took to the stage and gratefully acknowledged the IVE Group’s ongoing support of the printing museum.
