CMYKhub has revealed plans to move towards 24-hour production at its new purpose-built headquarters in Melbourne, a move that will also create new job opportunities.<\/p>\n
The new premises will represent twice the space of its current premises, which is currently spread over six locations in Heidelberg, Melbourne.\u00a0The new headquarters on Wright Road<\/a>\u00a0will also feature 500sqm of office space across two levels.<\/p>\n CMYKhub CEO Dayne Nankervis told Sprinter the new facility\u2019s scale and design are key to the company\u2019s ambitions for 24-hour operations.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a total goal of this factory being a 24-hour operation, which will mean new staff \u2013 so we will be actively recruiting,\u201d Nankervis said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis setup, with its purpose-built layout, new equipment, and proximity to the city and major freight hubs, positions us for strong, sustainable growth.\u201d<\/p>\n The new CMYKhub headquarters also aims to set a new benchmark for sustainability. The new building is highly insulated, and the company is currently installing a 300-kilowatt solar system. Many of the lights are motion-censored and the factory\u2019s HVAC system provides better heating, cooling, and humidity control.<\/p>\n \u201cThe layout supports a seamless production flow \u2013 always moving forward, never backward,\u201d Nankervis said.<\/p>\n Nankervis said CMYKhub also drew inspiration from European manufacturing sites in its emphasis on staff wellbeing.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we toured factories in Europe, we noticed their emphasis on natural light. That inspired us to add more windows to create a brighter, more pleasant workspace for our staff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n According to Nankervis, constructing the new facility has been multi-generational goal for the company.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile this building has been in planning for two to three years, the broader goal has been a decade in the making,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe supply around 4000 businesses and small printers each month \u2013 a number that\u2019s growing. Through COVID, we learned how important continuity and reliability is. Our success directly supports our clients\u2019 success, so it\u2019s vital that we mitigate risks and provide them with confidence in our operations.<\/p>\n \u201cFor printers, the building is often one of the biggest risks \u2013 especially if it\u2019s leased. A landlord could sell or redevelop the property, and insurance companies often hesitate with non-purpose-built manufacturing sites. So, achieving this purpose-built facility after nearly a decade is something worth celebrating.<\/p>\n \u201cFor our clients, it sends a strong message: we\u2019re here for the long term. It shows our ongoing commitment to reinvest and provide them the security to focus on their businesses, knowing we\u2019re here to support them.\u201d<\/p>\n CMYKhub recently unveiled its Komori Lithrone GX40RP at its new headquarters<\/a> \u2013 the first of two new machines making their debut. The company has also installed a Canon varioPRINT iX3200 B3 press, which was\u00a0purchased last year at drupa<\/a>.<\/p>\n Comment below to have your say on this story.<\/p>\n If you have a news story or tip-off, get in touch at\u00a0editorial@sprinter.com.au.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
