laying the
golden egg
Most commercial and publishing print markets in most European countries are at best described as ‘soft’. Packaging and functional/industrial print are in more robust health.

strategy – why and how?
As manager, you can’t observe and control everything. A business strategy will help throughout your organization. With a well-implemented strategy, people are more able to make decisions and resources can be allocated more sufficient to accomplish key objectives. The strategy provides a clear business map defining both goals and ways to achieve those. It will also help to create more space in time with efficiency as result.
