The move is related to the Association’s establishment of a member’s Buying Group to reduce operating cost in key areas of business expense.
Printing Industries CEO Bill Healey said that while full details of the Buying Group would be progressively released, its initial focus was on the major business expense area of electricity.
“There is not a single company in our industry that would not benefit from being able to lower their energy costs, so we have made the achievement this goal the number one priority for our Member Buying Group,” he said.
“Since power costs will continue to escalate, it is important that we explore all options including electricity purchasing and efficient energy use to help our members keep these operating costs to a minimum.
Mr Healey said that preliminary research had identified savings in the vicinity of 11 per cent could be made off the electricity bill for a mid-sized printing company.
He said the survey would be invaluable in identifying industry energy consumption and costs, current providers and access to sustainability and energy management processes.
“Please take the time to participate in the survey – it will take you only a few minutes to complete,” he said.
