Who We Are
Printing People Africa are a specialist recruitment business dedicated exclusively to the print, packaging and graphic communications industries. With more than 50 years of combined industry experience, we understand this industry from the inside. We know the people, the technologies and the businesses because we've spent our careers working in them.
Why We Exist
Printing People Africa was born from conversations with the industry. Employers told us they were struggling to find experienced people, while skilled professionals were looking for new opportunities. We recognised the need for a specialist recruitment business that understands both sides of the industry. That's why Printing People Africa was created.
Why We Are Different
Our experience comes from inside the printing industry, not from the recruitment industry. We have worked alongside many of the world's leading printing equipment manufacturers, suppliers and printing companies, building relationships across every sector of the business. That means we understand the difference between offset, digital inkjet, flexographic, gravure, screen printing, labels, packaging, commercial print, finishing and workflow. More importantly, we understand the people behind those technologies. Our aim is simple, to connect the right people with the right companies.
