Andreas Tietz Editor Der Druckspiegel / PrintMirror |
Dear reader,
the industry still has its problems: Heidelbergs results are still negative, prices for raw materials are increasing, the "Frankfurter Rundschau", one of Germanys most famous newspapers, is insolvent - a shape of things to come also to other newspapers. But there are also good news: Xeikon and KBA with positive results, innovative products everywere. That shows: there is good printing business, if you know where. Packaging is one area with good outlook, and not surprisingly many companies switch their focus to that. Read more in our newsletter! Sincerely, 
If you are interested in our 2013 media kit, please contact us at info@druckspiegel.de. Thank you! |
