Read MoreStaples ANZ breaks out of the pack with new company name, identity and significant transformation investment.
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (August 7, 2017) – Today Staples Australia & New Zealand announced a new challenger brand, identity and transformation plan to the market. This announcement comes after Platinum Equity purchased the Australia and New Zealand business from Staples Inc earlier this year. The company serves over 26,000 customers in industries across Australia and New Zealand including some of the countries’ largest financial institutions, telcos, healthcare providers and universities. The new name, Winc, a creative take on “work incorporated” is a deliberate breakaway from traditional competitors and represents the company’s focus beyond office products and intention to meet the changing needs of both workers and learners. Chief Executive Darren Fullerton said: “This brand is designed to bring a breath of fresh air to an industry that has been historically quite traditional and predictable. “It represents our shift from offering products to providing solutions and inspiring a better way for workers and learners to get things done. By its nature, it also gives us the ability to flex and add adjacent solutions and offerings to meet our customers’ needs both now and into the future.” In addition to the new identity, the company also announced today significant investment in its supply chain, digital experience and a new offering to give customers’ data driven insights into the overall performance of their company. “This represents a shift that goes far deeper than our new name and identity. This will be the start of a complete change to the customer experience. “It is more than defending disruption from the likes of Amazon, it’s about developing our ability to see around corners and fully anticipate customer needs. We are also investing in a best-in-class digital experience, complete with artificial intelligence and full automation to remove friction in the cart process. “Our competitive edge sits in our deep domain expertise. With our new customer insight report, called The Winc Review, we will provide a new level of insight and data for our customers into their own supply chain, innovation, compliance, cost management and sustainability. This information will in turn allow them to improve the overall health of their business in these critical areas.” The company also has plans to further strengthen their last mile delivery model that significantly sets them apart in the marketplace. “Our drivers know our customers’ personally – in many cases they see them every day with a straight to desk and doorstep delivery experience. You don’t get this experience when you buy straight from an e-Commerce site. This is something our customers in Australia and New Zealand have told us time again that they value and we are making investments to make this experience even better.” The company will begin doing business as Winc starting September 4 2017 in Australia and New Zealand. About Winc We’re Winc. And we stand for work incorporated. Winc is a company that exists to inspire millions of people in Australia and New Zealand with new and better ways to work and learn. We believe that work should allow people to create, play and do more and inspire better ways to get things done. From office, school, facilities and safety essentials, services like print and marketing, to demonstrating what more is possible with our technology and workspace solutions, Winc has a wide product range that can be tailored to you and yours.

Read MoreVertiv Sells ASCO® to Schneider Electric
Sale enables greater focus on core business Columbus, Ohio [July 27, 2017] – Vertiv, formerly Emerson Network Power, today announced plans to sell its ASCO® business as it continues to sharpen its focus on the digital critical infrastructure space. The $1.25 billion sale to Schneider Electric allows Vertiv to apply additional resources toward business and technological advancements in its core data center, telecommunications and commercial and industrial markets. As Vertiv has repositioned itself after being sold to Platinum Equity in November 2016, it became clear that ASCO’s strengths in the automatic transfer switch arena fell outside the new organization’s more focused strategy, said Vertiv CEO Rob Johnson. “This sale is a significant step forward in our evolution as the premier provider of digital critical infrastructure solutions,” Johnson said. “This is consistent with our strategy of focusing on our customers and aligning the strengths of our organization – deep domain knowledge in IT and facilities applications, global scale and service coverage – to better meet their needs.” Platinum Equity Partner Jacob Kotzubei praised Vertiv’s progress. “Thanks to strong leadership and the commitment of Vertiv employees around the world, the company is performing exceptionally well, and the transformation of the business is right on track,” said Mr. Kotzubei. “The sale of ASCO will further support those efforts and help Vertiv continue focusing on its core business. Given the amount of cash proceeds expected to be generated from the sale, we will evaluate a number of capital structure alternatives that would be beneficial to all stakeholders." The sale price of $1.25 billion reflects a multiple of 11.7x adjusted EBITDA for CY2016. The sale is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close by Q4 2017. About Vertiv Vertiv designs, builds and services critical infrastructure that enables vital applications for data centers, communication networks and commercial and industrial facilities. Formerly Emerson Network Power, Vertiv supports today’s growing mobile and cloud computing markets with a portfolio of power, thermal and infrastructure management solutions including the ASCO®, Chloride®, Liebert®, NetSure™ and Trellis™ brands. Sales in fiscal 2016 were $4.4 billion. For more information, visit VertivCo.com. CONTACT Mark Berry T +614 383 1605 E Mark.Berry@Fahlgren.com
