Ergo wins lucrative university print deal

3 May 2016 |  Athina Mallis   |   Comment Now

Marketing production management firm Ergo Asia has landed a lucrative deal to provide Sydney’s Macquarie University’s print for three years in a contract valued at $7.5m.

According to Ergo chief executive Richard Wonders, the tender for the print contract was a competitive process which included some of the company’s ‘biggest competitors’ in the industry.

The university closed its longstanding printery Macquarie Lighthouse Press in March, and all services previously provided by the printery are now managed by Ergo, including design and merchandise services.

Wonders says Macquarie University chose Ergo for the print account due to its ‘best price, quality, world class systems and processes’ and the company was seen having the most ‘flexible’ service.

“Ergo Asia will be co-located at the University and will collaborate with a broad number of supply partners to address general production requirements and with key partners for specialised on demand and digital print needs,” says Wonders.

“Through the contract term Ergo will continue to work collaboratively with the industry to deliver the best outcomes possible for the client.”

In a statement released about the print appointment Macquarie Uni says, “Following an extensive review and evaluation of the university’s needs, Group Marketing is pleased to confirm the appointment of Ergo as the marketing production manager for all its general, digital and ad hoc print and marketing-related requirements.

“This decision was based on a closed tender to a panel of six companies with Ergo rating number one on our selection criteria. This decision was also validated by case studies and conversations with stakeholders from the University of Queensland and the Queensland University of Technology who have transitioned to Ergo, both independently giving a rating of nine out of 10.”

Ergo is owned by parent company Konica Minolta following its acquisition in 2014. Konica took control of 100 per cent of Ergo’s shares in a bid to diversify into marketing print management (MPM).

Established in 2004, Ergo has offices in Australia, NZ, China, Indonesia, India, Thailand, The Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore and USA.
