Brisbane-based Print Approach has completed its fifth acquisition in as many years, taking over The Printing Office, aka TPO, and launching a new brand called the Eckersley Group.
Former TPO owner Joe Clouston is retiring from the industry and said he takes great comfort in knowing that his staff and clients are in good hands.
“It’s the perfect fit for the TPO business," he said. "To know that the business will be run by Tom and Luke Eckersley is a great outcome. These boys have run their own successful family company for many years and I’m certain that the TPO clients and staff will be happy working with the Eckersley Group."
The Eckersleys decided that the new group brand was necessary once the well-established Eagle Farm-based TPO was added to their portfolio, which includes Print Approach, Easi File and Fine Print. All entities will now be known as members of the Eckersley Group.
Print Approach and The Printing Office offer a broad range of products and services, including graphic design, offset printing, digital printing, online ordering, specialty printing, signage, mailing, warehousing and logistical services.
Easi-File is one of Australia’s leading providers of business filing systems, with an extensive product range of filing folders, labels, clips, medical products and storage solutions.
Fine Print is a leading print management company that offers consultancy services to identify a company’s print requirements and recommend improvements and savings.
The Eckersley Group operates from two manufacturing locations and has also added a new sales and art studio located at 23 Maud Street, Newstead, just north of Brisbane's CBD.
