Together with his wife Pam, Tony founded Conect in 1987. What began as a small family venture grew into a nationally recognised supplier, trusted by hundreds, if not thousands of sign makers, printers, and creatives across Australia. Under Tony’s leadership, Conect became known not only for quality and innovation, but also for the personal service and integrity that reflected his values.

Over 35 years, Tony’s dedication helped shape the standards of the industry. He was respected not only as a businessman but as a mentor and friend to many. His ability to build strong relationships, his entrepreneurial spirit, and his unwavering commitment to his customers left an indelible mark that will endure across the industry.

Conect played an important role in helping signage companies transition from not only signwriting to computer cut graphics, but also the transition to digital printing.  

Tony & Pam sold the business in 2022 due to Tony’s ill health.

Tony will be remembered as a husband, father, grandfather, and industry stalwart whose influence extended well beyond business. His contribution to signage and print in Australia will not be forgotten.

The Coniglio family would like to thank everyone for the kind well wishes, phone calls and messages of support during this difficult time.
