Avon Graphics lures Redback into its web

Only two years after its establishment, Redback Finishing has been taken over by Melbourne-based Avon Graphics.

Redback still has plenty of bite, and lots to offer Avon, according to Trevor Hone, managing director. Hone believes that combining the resources of both firms across the two plants in south-east Melbourne will expand the range of capacity that Avon is able to offer.

"By combining the extensive expertise, experience and facilities already available at Avon with Redback's modern plant, leading-edge solutions and skilled staff, we can provide a more comprehensive range of options," he said.

The takeover now gives Avon the opportunity to offer spot and all-over UV varnish, acqueous coating and glitter along with expanded services in areas such as laminating, foiling and embossing.

"Avon Graphics has been providing the highest quality finishing services to the Australian graphic arts industry for more than 30 years," said Hone. "This expansion will allow for us to offer an even stronger and more comprehensive range of services to our clients."
