Stream expands into promotional products

Andrew Price, chief executive officer of Stream, claims the purchase will allow his company to offer an extra dimension to its portfolio, “Key to Stream’s success is our ability to expand services to meet the ever increasing requirements of customers,” says Price. “Promotional goods are a natural extension of Stream’s print management capabilities and we look forward to offering this expertise to potential and existing customers,” he says.

Promotional goods can now be managed in the same manner as printed products and the supplier management system of Stream will be expanded to include the suppliers of Protocol. Stream is also promising to lower administrative costs for customers by offering consolidated billing and reporting for printing and promotional products.

Price emphasises the similarities between the two companies: both offer sophisticated online systems, an extensive network of suppliers, offices in Hong Kong to competitively source products and a range of industry specialists on hand to assist customers in their purchasing.

Heather Quinn-Jackson, managing director of Protocol, established the company 19 years ago and has since provided promotional services to major companies across the finance, insurance and consumer sectors in Australia.
