As part of the transition, Reno Lauriola from Flexo Australia will join the Currie Group team to support the new partnership.  

Jade Gillard from Web Dynamics will leave the Bimec agency to pursue other ventures. 

According to Currie Group, its nationwide service network and team of technical experts were key elements in establishing the agreements.  

Currie Group director Mark Daws stated: “Flexible packaging is certainly an area where we are seeing massive growth, and these new agreements represent a significant step in expanding our offering to the higher-volume converting sector by adding the unique value proposition offered by Uteco, Bimec and the wider FlexCA alliance. 

“These new partnerships allow for a collaborative approach where we can pull in products and resources from any, or all, of the alliance members, to create solutions which are driven by each particular customer’s needs and objectives.”
