BJ Ball is pleased to announce the acquisition of Wide Format distributor “Access Paper Pty Ltd” effective 1st May.
Established in 1993 Access Paper is a market leading distributor of products to the Wide Format Screen and Digital Market. With sales and distribution sites in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane specialising in both Rigid and Roll substrates to its growing customer base.
Excited by the opportunity, Access Paper owner Damian Pocock, commented, ‘Access Paper has been a family run business for 22 years, early on we identified the need to have the ability to supply large format paper, board and synthetics as existing suppliers weren’t catering for what we could see was a growing market.
We established a wide range of flexible and rigid media for the wide format market in both screen and digital. We have always viewed this market as our core business and now coming into BJ Ball – Digital Media we are looking forward to growing the support of our customers with a broader range of products and services. I would like to thank our staff, our loyal customers and suppliers and for the many years of support. We are looking forward to this new chapter under BJ Ball’
Craig Brown, CEO BJ Ball Group added, “Access Paper have been a fantastic distribution partner for BJ Ball for many years and we look forward to this acquisition accelerating our push into the Wide Format market. We successfully launched our Digital Media Division in June of last year and believe the Access Paper acquisition will greatly benefit our combined customer base with additional supply lines, converting capabilities and sales expertise”.
This latest acquisition is a continuation of BJ Ball’s growth strategy within the industry, which follows the recent acquisition of API Foils in Australia and New Zealand earlier in March 2015 and Longbottom Digital Paper in late 2014.
