ACM confirms closure of three print centres, resulting in undisclosed number of redundancies

Australian Community Media (ACM) has announced it will close three of the four print sites it flagged its intention to shutter earlier this month.

The decision involves a number of redundancies – ACM would not disclose how many – and an agreement with competitor News Corp, which also recently announced the closure of a print centre, allowing the companies to use each other’s printing networks.

ACM’s Canberra and Murray Bridge sites will close on 28 August, and Ballarat’s closure is effective from 2 October. The Antony Catalano-fronted media company is still considering the Albury-Wodonga print site, and said it has not made a final decision as to its fate. A date for a decision on the Albury-Wodonga site is undetermined, the business told Mumbrella.
