Andreas Tietz Editor Der Druckspiegel / PrintMirror |
Dear reader,
the numbers we had to report in recent days are certainly not uplifting: another big minus at the end of the Heidelberg fiscal year, and KBA - usually so proud of their black numbers- report a slump in sales and a negative quarterly result. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that the two bosses are thinking aloud about a cooperation to reduce costs. And many in the industry looking toward China, the number one export market for German manufacturers of printing and finishing equipment, and therewith another important current news topic: on Tuesday, China Print in Beijing opened their doors for five days. They have become the second largest printing trade show in the world. Read more about this in our news selection and on the druckspiegel | printmirror website. Sincerely,
PS: We are represented at China Print with our first issue in Chinese (see image on the top right) and will also be at Printtek in Istanbul (May 17 - 22). We look forward to seeing you there! |
