Roland DG unveils newly designed Creative Centre at 2026 Dealer Conference

 

Roland DG Australia, a leading manufacturer of wide-format printing solutions, has unveiled their freshly imagined Creative Centre & Sydney Head Office, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s evolution. The unveiling coincided with the 2026 Annual Dealer Conference and Awards Night, held on Thursday, March 12.

The transformation reflects a powerful theme of convergence; bringing together people, creativity, and innovation within a dynamic, immersive environment. The refreshed space was revealed to Dealer partners and industry representatives from across Australia and New Zealand, who came together for a day of connection, collaboration and strategic discussion.


The Creative Centre showcases the capabilities of the latest technology, with next-generation devices playing a central role in the design execution. The DIMENSE DA-640 produced textured wall coverings with highly realistic woodgrain and marble finishes, while the TrueVIS XG-640 delivered vibrant feature artworks throughout the space, including a custom wrap on a digital piano supplied by Roland Corporation. Additional graphics were created using roll-to-roll and flatbed UV solutions, highlighting the expanded colour gamut and specialty textured finishes.


The Annual Dealer Conference provided attendees with a first look at the new environment, reinforcing a strong commitment to innovation, partner enablement, and customer experience. The event also marked a renewed sense of momentum across the business.


The Australian team was honoured to welcome Kohei Tanabe, Roland DG Corporation CEO alongside Daryl Rio, Vice President Sales & Marketing Asia Pacific. Their presence added significant value, with insights into global market direction, portfolio expansion, and strategic priorities, further strengthening regional alignment.


Recently appointed Managing Director, Jessie Parker, described the event as a defining moment for the business. “This was more than a conference, it marked a new, energised approach. We are evolving our strategy, strengthening our partnerships, and building an environment where creativity, innovation, and collaboration converge to unlock new growth opportunities and redefine what’s possible for our customers and partners.”


Parker also reflected on the impact of the event on the Dealer network: “Feedback from the event has been extremely positive. It has ignited momentum across the network and our dealers left energised, and empowered to help shape the journey ahead.”


Following a highly engaging day, the evening transitioned into celebration, with the Annual Dealer Awards recognising outstanding performance, commitment, and partnership across the ecosystem. The Dealer network remains integral to the brand’s success, consistently demonstrating professionalism, expertise, and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional customer outcomes. Congratulations to all award recipients, with special recognition to Spicers Australia, named Partner of the Year 2025. 


The Roland DG Creative Centre is now open for product demonstrations across the full portfolio. Customers are invited to book a visit online and experience the newly transformed space firsthand.
