Leading print and integrated services company, Orangenova Integrated Services Limited, is celebrating its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of operations in Nigeria’s printing and communications industry.

The milestone also highlights the 22-year professional journey of the company’s founder and Managing Director, Ismail Monsurudeen Olalekan, whose career in the sector began in 2004.

Speaking on the occasion, Olalekan recalled starting his career at Digital Colors Limited, where he said he gained valuable experience under the mentorship of industry professionals Gokay Oludare, Fred Irabor and Sheyi Oludare.

According to him, the early years of his career were marked by challenges, intensive learning and a commitment to mastering the technical and business aspects of the printing industry.

He noted that the industry has undergone significant transformation over the years, evolving from traditional offset printing to digital technologies and integrated service solutions. He said Orangenova embraced these changes by adopting innovative approaches and expanding its service offerings.

Since its establishment, the company has provided printing and communication services to a range of organisations, including Tolaram, Dufil Prima Foods Limited, Guinness Nigeria, South African Airways, Finsbury Heinz Limited, Ikeja Electric, Lush Hair and the National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA).

Beyond Orangenova, Olalekan also leads Phoenix Nexon Limited, a company focused on innovation-driven solutions, and recently launched PrintXpress Integrated Concept Limited, which aims to provide faster and more accessible printing services.

As the company commemorates its 20th anniversary, Olalekan expressed appreciation to clients, partners, employees and mentors for their support over the years. He also reaffirmed the company’s commitment to innovation, quality service delivery and continued growth in the years ahead.
