PIAA saves members money with new contracts

Printing Industries (soon to be the Print and Visual Communication Association) has inked two deals that promise to take debt and energy burdens off members’ shoulders.

Signed at PrintEx, the first agreement, with Moneytech, will allow small to medium enterprises to obtain debt financing services similar to those available to the big end of town.

“This is a debt financing deal at advantageous rates, which should ease some of printers’ cash flow issues and help with their debt recovery and general business operations,” said Andrew Macaulay, CEO PIAA.

Another deal, with Chamber Energy, will enable printers to find the best energy prices available with additional discounts for association members, according to Matt Schembri, national finance manager at PIAA.

“They give you a call, collect a few details, and they compare the different electricity companies to get the best deal for you so you’re not paying too much,” he said.

The two agreements have come into immediate effect.
