Commenting on the deal, Richard Allely, CEO of PMP says, “Securing this significant contract rewards the investment that PMP has made in the last 12 months bringing together the industry’s most skilled executives into one management team.”

He continues, “This transfer of knowledge and experience to PMP has paid off and sets the platform for PMP to cement its leadership position in the catalogue distribution sector into the future.”

Following controversy and legal action surrounding a previous PMP distribution contract Allely says the Target contract shows PMP is held in a positive light in the industry.

He says, “I’m confident the industry will view the news that we have secured the Target contract as clear example of a resurgent PMP that is a force to be reckoned with in the printing and distribution sector.

Meanwhile, David Chesser, general manager PMP Distribution says the Target catalogue distribution contract is one of the biggest to come up for tender in Australia this year and is an important win for PMP Distribution.

Chesser says, “Target is one of Australia’s largest users of consumer catalogues and choosing us to partner with them is a testament to the hard work and extraordinary talents of the PMP Distribution team.

“Our appointment demonstrates our resurgence and shows we can deliver competitive and customer focused solutions, distribution services and facilities that customers such as Target demand.”

PMP outlines its distribution arm and Target will be working together over the coming weeks to ensure a seamless transition from the current provider. The contract will be managed through PMP Distribution’s Victorian distribution centre in Clayton.
