Company Profile

Port Moresby plant and Head Office
Text Box: responsible for the development of continuous sprocket fed forms through working with companies such as IBM and the creation of NCR (no carbon required) paper, and a multitude of developments that shaped business forms to what we now know and use in business and at home everyday. This long history of innovation, leadership, and strength is the foundation from what Moore Printing was built and this continues to be the legacy that drives continued growth and creativeness. Moore began doing business in Papua New Guinea back in the 1960’s when Representatives from Moore Australia’s Brisbane office regularly travelled to PNG taking orders for production in Moore’s Australian manufacturing plants. Then when PNG became independent in 1975, Moore opened a permanent sales office in Port Moresby to further service the increasing demand for it’s products even though all production was still Australian based. In 1985 Moore Australia Limited formed a joint venture with local producer and part of Nuigini News, Key Printing which then became known as Key Moore Business Systems. Two years later in 1987, Moore Australia received approval to acquire Nuigini News’s share, and the Company became Moore Business Systems (PNG) Pty Limited with “Moore Papua New Guinea” as it’s signature. Moore then grew the Company in size and stature to become PNG’s largest commercial printer. In 1999, all the shares of Moore PNG were sold by Moore Australia to Niuprint Limited, a PNG based company formed by the senior management in a Management Buy Out (MBO). This new structure, now trading as Moore Printing maintained supply, licensing and technology agreements with both Moore Australia, Toppan Forms (Japan) and Moore Corporation (now RR Donnelly in the U.S.) In October 2000, Moore Printing took the opportunity to expand it’s business in Lae through the acquisition of it’s largest competitor in the Lae region, Qwila Graphics. Qwila Graphics were well established in Lae with a strong customer base, and the advantage of Lae based production facilities to service the local market. In April 2007, Moore Printing took over the business of our next largest competitor, PNG Printing. With this acquisition came two additional manufacturing locations in Madang and Kokopo further enhancing Moore’s ability to better service the needs of it’s customer country wide. Moore Printing has continued to expand it’s expertise and production beyond traditional offset printing & business forms to now include digital printing & variable imaging, document archiving solutions, and e-business solutions. Now employing over 200 people in Papua New Guinea, Moore continues to lead the way in the provision of world class print, document and e-business solutions.
