PMP has announced the closure of it entire heatset operation at Salisbury South, SA and the decommissioning of its Rotoman 8 Press at Wacol, Qld.

Acting CEO, Richard Alley says PMP has made this decision now to ensure it is in the best possible position to meet future challenges.

He says, “We expect increasing price pressure as the worseinig economic conditions reduce demand in an already highly competitive market. Optimising PMP Print’s most reliable and best performing presses will deliver much needed cost reduction benefits in the second half of the year.”

In total 76 positions will be made redundant, primarily on a voluntary basis. PMP Print will work with local management, employees and unions over coming weeks to support all staff while the closures take effect.
