Book Printing Outlook -- Consumer Confidence Key

“The new Publishing Services Group has 21 operating plants, now all linked, and three manufacturing executives driving those businesses,” notes Kevin Clarke, president of Publishing Services for Quebecor World. “It’s really a powerful solution. With the synergies we’ve brought forward since June, we’re seeing significant efficiencies and the timing couldn’t be better. We put in new equipment—I call them hybrid presses—in both of our consumer-focused plants. They’re targeted to be efficient both for long- and short-run work.”
