Dear reader,
the holiday spirit has finally reached us - the amount of news is decreasing, and what is reaching us has a positive note appropriate for the season. At least those related to the printing industry: companies are being restructured after insolvency, orders are being placed, innovation is being presented and sales records are being broken. Especially the saving of Mathias Baeuerle GmbH is a sign that know-how is still appreciated. More about this and similar topics can be found in our current newsletter below. We will return with our next English newsletter in January. Until then, WE WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON AND ALL THE BEST FOR 2013! Sincerely,
