Orangebox, established in Wellington in 2003 has taken ownership of Cummings, established in 1967.
Cummings was one of New Zealand’s first mail houses, started well before anyone had heard of databases and a time when mail outs involved dropping off a typewriter, envelopes and the Yellow Pages for someone to type directly onto the envelopes.
Orangebox has been looking to expand to Auckland for some time and this opportunity gives them the chance to blend one of the industries oldest mailhouses with one of the newest.
Orangebox have already developed a strong customer base in Auckland but have been servicing this from Wellington, so the move was crucial to being able to deliver a high level of service in both Auckland and Wellington.
Directors Thomas Subritzky and Stephen Bennett say that Orangebox intends focusing on direct mail and customer communications which has been so successful in Wellington. They believe that it is not so much the production machinery that you have that makes for a good mail house (rest assured, they have this in place too) but that a high level of service and expertise is the key.
Thomas has already moved to Auckland to run the new operation which opened in September and Stephen will be heading the Wellington office.
