State grant is printing cash

A Keysborough manufacturer will add new staff and equipment thanks for a State Government grant.
Keysborough MP Martin Pakula visited digital fabric printer Bravo Print and Design to announce the Future Industries Manufacturing Program (FIMP) cash.
The funding will help the Bravo team to buy and install a direct to textile printer and an extra heat press.
The equipment is the first of its type in Victoria and will remove the paper printing process of manufacturing Bravo’s products, improving productivity.
The project is expected to help the business to increase its production capacity by 80 per cent and reduce paper usage by up to 75 per cent.
This will help Bravo to expand interstate and explore international market opportunities.
The business was established in 2006 and manufactures fabric signage products for the commercial and retail market.
The company provides its products to many major events, including the Australian Grand Prix, Australian Open Tennis and PGA Golf events.
