A new office building to house both the Tonga Print Ltd. and the Tonga Post Ltd. at Vaololoa was officially opened by the Prime Minister, Lord Tu'ivakano yesterday evening, 19 March. 

The occasion also highlighted the taking over of one public enterprise by another public enterprise, after Tonga Print Ltd. became a subsidiary of Tonga Post Ltd. on 1 October 2013.

Siaosi Sovaleni, the CEO for the Ministry of Public Enterprises hailed the take over as a success, and pointed to the fact that all proceedings from the acquisition enabled Tonga Print to fund the redundancy payments of some of its staff.

In addition he said that Tonga Print had been making profits at the end of every month since October 2013. With the newly renovated Tonga Print building, the two entities were now operating under one roof.

Siaosi said that Tonga Post, was currently renovating its main office in central Nuku'alofa to be completed in early May when the staff of Tonga Post would move back into town, but the mail-sorting section of their operation would remain at the Tonga Print office building.

He said that his ministry, the Ministry of Public Enterprises intended to relocate into the Tonga Post's newly renovated building in central Nuku'alofa by about mid May.

The opening of the newly renovated Tonga Print office building was attended by the Prime Minister, Lady Robyn and HE Dr Kazuchika Hamuro.
