New home and presses for Blue Star DM

Blue Star DM makes a move into new premises at Homebush, NSW.

The company’s direct mailing division, previously located at Blue Star’s headquarters in Silverwater is in the process of moving to a much larger site, of approximately 8000 square metres, at Homebush.

According to Kim Lykissas (pictured), executive general manager at Blue Star DM, the Homebush site gives the company the space it needs while still being in close proximity to the Silverwater office.

“We wanted to remain near the Silverwater site and print operations, but we really wanted a specific-sized site like that in Homebush,” he said.

In addition to relocating, Blue Star DM is also installing a Xerox iGen4 press, along with a Nuvera 288EA Production Perfecting System, a Nuvera 144 EA Production System and an EMPie Enterprise site license.

Blue Star DM is the first NSW customer to install an iGen4. Lykissas said the machine was chosen for its ability to improve productivity. He believes the machine will sit will with Blue Star’s existing fleet of equipment.

“The group has a number of different technology but the iGen4 was chosen because we already have an iGen3 so it’s a complementary machine and has some efficiency upgrades built into it,” he said. “It was an easy decision.”

Lykissas expects the Homebush site to be up in action by Monday 6 April.
