> Ovato has been a large print producer of catalogues and publications in Australia for many years and was the largest competitor to IVE in this important sector
> As part of a strategy to focus on its core capability, over the last two years Ovato has divested of, or closed, many businesses including magazine distribution (Gordon and Gotch), book printing (Griffin), letterbox distribution, marketing services, Victorian HSWO plant, and its NZ businesses
> This rationalisation strategy resulted in Ovato returning to its core capability of long-run catalogue and publication production, with the business operating from three sites: Warwick Farm (Sydney) as major production hub; Geebung (Brisbane); and Bibra Lake (Perth).
