Printing SA And Maizey Plastics Announce Training Partnership

Printing SA and Maizey Plastics will combine their resources to cater for and accommodate the high skills demand in South Africa with their new training partnership.

Maizey’s chief marketing officer, Richard Maizey, said, Maizey have always been involved in developing people and training the industry, and we’ve always done that at no cost. The purpose has never been about making money, it’s about improving the market and getting the younger generation and less developed people into the industry.’

‘Abisha Katerere (Printing SA’s head of business development and marketing) approached Maizey during the Sign Africa Durban expo with an exciting new proposal on training, as well as trying to uplift people out of poverty and get them into our industry.’

Katerere added, ‘We work on a philosophy of giving people what they want, and we realised that we were getting a lot of requests for training, particularly on vehicle wrapping, at the Sign Africa expos. Seeing companies like Maizey Plastics at the expos gave us the idea to work with them. We are a legacy brand, and so is Maizey Plastics.’

‘We didn’t want to reinvent the wheel, we wanted to work with experts in the field, like Maizey. Together we are forging a partnership that will last another 75 years for them, and 115 years for us. We’re changing the environment, which is very exciting. This gives us an opportunity to also expand into other markets, because training and development is what we do.’

Information on modules and course dates will be available in the new year.
