Reality Hits Print Finishing Manufacturers

Last week, the world's largest manufacturer of print finishing equipment, Müller Martini, announced a major re-structuring plan for the firm. Over the last 10 years, Müller has seen its annual revenues of a billion euros slide to about a third of that today. Obviously, they had to confront a contracting finishing market. As part of the re-organization effort, up to 550 employees may lose their jobs.
