BALL & DOGGETT HOSTS LIA VICTORIA

Ball & Doggett hosted a delegation of industry visitors to its Moorabbin converting facility, for a plant tour and networking event organised by LIA Victoria.

The company, which is a sponsor of the LIA’s Graduate Awards, opened its doors to the delegation, which included representatives from industry businesses, TAFE and other associations.

After the guided tour, national business development manager Zaidee Jackson gave a presentation about the company, introducing its range of products and services, which include papers, boards and other printable media, a range of press consumables and printing equipment.

The event highlighted Ball & Doggett’s commitment to its clients, staff, the industry and the wider community, as well as how the company is achieving its sustainability goals across the entire value chain, from sustainable sourcing of product and innovative converting technologies, through to sophisticated waste management systems and partnerships, which it claims almost eliminates waste to landfill from the facility.

LIA Victoria President Robert Black thanked Jackson for the opportunity, saying the support of companies like Ball & Doggett was a great illustration of the generous collaboration which can be so valuable to industry professionals and particularly encouraging to graduates and those new to the industry.

“Tonight’s gathering was typical for LIA, with a wide cross-section represented from new graduates to industry stalwarts, and from business owners to machine operators – we even welcomed a young student who is interested in exploring industry careers,” Black said.

“It was a fantastic learning opportunity for all involved, and we very much appreciate the support of industry partners like Ball & Doggett in making these opportunities available.”
