This year, we are proud to celebrate 20 years of Production Print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Australia. Two decades of innovation, partnership, and progress alongside our customers and the wider print community.
It is a milestone that coincides with another remarkable achievement within the industry. Worldwide Online Printing’s (Worldwide) 30th year in business. Together, these anniversaries reflect the strength, resilience, and continued evolution of print in Australia.
20 Years of Production Print Innovation
Since 2005, Konica Minolta has been at the forefront of production print in Australia. What began with a single press has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem of digital production solutions, enabling customers to integrate automation, specialty printing, and sustainability into their operations.
Under the banner “20 Years of Print Possibilities”, we have taken time this year to reflect on the journey, from our early days in digital print to today’s advanced AccurioPress platforms, and to thank the customers and partners who have made it possible.
“Over two decades, our customers’ real-world challenges and ambitions have ignited our innovation,” said Andrew Cocker, General Manager of Production and Industrial Print at Konica Minolta Australia. “We are proud to have evolved with the industry from offset to digital and now to automation and Industry 5.0 readiness.”
At every stage, our focus has remained the same. Building meaningful partnerships, empowering growth, and shaping the future of print through technology that is smarter, faster, and more sustainable.
Celebrating Worldwide’s 30 Years in Print
We also recognise and celebrate our long-term customer Worldwide, which marks 30 years in business this year. From a single Perth centre to a national network of more than 35 locations, Worldwide has been a driving force in innovation, customer experience, and sustainable print production.
“Our partnership with Konica Minolta has supported our network through many stages of growth. Their focus on innovation helps us produce high quality work and gives our franchisees the tools they need to keep transforming ideas for their customers,” said Rob Dallimore, Managing Director at Worldwide.
From pioneering ganged-up printing and Online Product Management through to expanding into digital marketing tools, a national promotional products site, and a new B2C label platform, Worldwide has become one of the most diversified print networks in Australia. This ongoing investment in technology highlights the forward-thinking approach that has shaped their 30-year journey.
Looking Ahead
These shared milestones remind us how far the industry has come and how much possibility lies ahead.
At Konica Minolta, we are proud to have played a role in supporting the growth of print businesses like Worldwide, and to continue empowering our partners to explore new markets, adopt new technologies, and push the boundaries of what print can achieve.
Here is to 20 years of Production Print, 30 years of Worldwide, and a future that is still unfolding, one page, one partnership, and one innovation at a time.
