Starleaton expands its WA crew with the appointment of Steve Aliphon to senior sales executive. Aliphon will bring 13-years of experience within the paper and inkjet media supply sector.

Having been exposed to the growth trends in wide-format inkjet printing in his previous role, Aliphon is positive about this move into the visual and creative side of paper and media supply.
