Design

Design

 

We have a creative and mechanical industrial design team which has delivered some of the most successful new retail executions in the last decade. From productivity-boosting checkout rollouts to in-store appliance display kitchens – we are creative and functional.  Working in both Australia and the UK means we can turn around briefs in the shortest time periods., always with an eye on the manufacture, to ensure  we achieve the most effective fixtures at the lowest cost.

Overseas Sourcing

Overseas Sourcing

 

Mills works with our Asian-based suppliers by having our own China-based staff in the factories at all the critical times. We have long-lasting relationships with low cost/high quality factories predominantly in metal work and timber/joinery, but our sourcing abilities extend far beyond, including lighting and electronic displays/screens.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing

 

In 1958 Mills (Styrox) started out as a local manufacturer, producing internal signage in Woolworths supermarkets, and still does. We have plastic fabrication, printing/signage, and metal fabrication all done in-house in our 3 factories in Vic, NSW and Qld. We manufacture prototypes all the way through to rollout volumes, as we routinely do.

SUPPORTING

BRANDS
AGENCIES
RETAILERS

Who do we Work for? We Work for Retail. That means, agencies, brands and of course retailers large and small. We are driven to support our clients so they can concentrate on what they do best – serving their customers with great products and services. Retail is our lifeblood – it is what we do, it is our passion and it is our area of expertise. Whether it’s FMCG in the supers, to consumer durables in the big box retailers, retail is the environment we work in every day around Australia and beyond. With our comprehensive range at Mills Shelving, we provide the solutions that keep retail spaces organized, efficient, and ready to serve customers.

What is our scope? It’s the Works. We are a full service support to retailers and brands in their retail activation. No other company in Australia covers the full depth and breadth of the stages of retail activation like Mills. From design, to overseas sourcing and/or local manufacturing in house, to provision of a standard off-the-shelf range, to 3PL of your own fixtures, to project management and installation, and all the way to post-install audit and maintenance. When we say we offer the Works, we mean it!

How do we Work? We Work in with you. Whilst we offer the full scope in retail activation, you pick and choose which capabilities work best for you. Already have a design? We’ll make it. Already have fixtures sourced? We’ll warehouse and deliver them? Already have them on their way to store? We’ll install them or even just maintain them post-installation.
