Australia's biggest print business IVE has long partnered with Coles, producing in-store weekly catalogues and monthly magazines, showcasing their specials and seasonal recipes.

The company said it was "just a little excited, honoured and humbled" to be named Coles Group’s Service and Innovation Partner of the Year.

During Covid when supply chains were challenged globally, IVE leant on its established supply network and committed $45m to chartering two break bulk carriers from Europe to ensure its clients didn’t run out of paper, meaning their customers continued to feel connected at a time they needed it most.

IVE expressed its thanks to the team at Coles Group for its ongoing, collaborative and progressive partnership.
