Australian industry supports Creo management

Steve Green, general manager of Creo in Australia and New Zealand, was not available for comment but it is understood the company is receiving solid support from its customers in favour of the status quo.

Melbourne packaging prepress company White & Gillespie is a user of Creo technology, and CEO Geoff White was quick to join the calls of support for the company's current board of directors. “Certainly, I have no reason to quibble with Creo's current management,” said White.

He emphasises the importance that Creo puts on maintaining customer relationships. “They have always put their customers first and their shareholders second. That's why you'll hear plenty of praise from their customers. I don't think you'll find too many people unsatisfied with the level of support that they offer,” said White.

Brisbane litho printing business Colour Chiefs also expressed satisfaction with Creo, with managing director Gavin Evans praising the quality of its services and level of support. “We recently swapped to Creo and upgraded three of our sites, and since then we've been really happy,” says Evans.

Evans praised the level of support that Creo offer for their customers. “Their tech support is fantastic,” says Evans. “They appreciate deadlines, and whenever there has been a problem it has been resolved really quickly. We've got a lot of money invested in them, and I've got nothing but good things to say about their management.”

In other news, Creo has hit back at the dissident shareholders with news that sales for the first quarter are up to $174 million, giving projected highest quarterly revenue in the history of the company. The official results for the quarter will be released on February 3, a week before the AGM when shareholders vote to decide the future of the company.
