About
In the beginning...
New Life Publications was founded in 1938 on Exploration Lane, Melbourne. The company moved to a new factory in Abbotsford in 1959.
A winter's tale
In winter, staff at the Abbotsford factory used a wood heater to warm their lunches. The linotype operators simply heated theirs on the pots of molten lead in their machines.
The milk allowance
Our company chairman began his career melting lead for letterpress machines. Factory workers received a milk allowance, theoretically to prevent lead poisoning.
Changing times
New Life Publications moved to a new Surrey Hills factory in 1970 and became Newlitho in July 1977.
Newlitho becomes Neo
In 2016, Newlitho morphed into Neo.
