Our main customers today recruit themselves from the area near Hamburg. Our competitors are located across Europe. Due to the international activities of our customers our products are known in many European countries. Our product range covers both, the letterhead for the regional customer, the host listing for the tourism service and the large edition in the international market. This variety requires a large flexibility in production and customer service. Besides the effectiveness in the prepress department and in the pressroom is an important issue. That is why we focus on modern technology and consistent investments. The price structure, date loyalty and the desired quality is a matter of course. We see ourselves today not only as the supplier of printing, but merely as the service provider in many areas. We are for example advisor in the print organisation, we are product developers in the packaging sector, advisor in organizational questions, problem settlers in the data transfer and conversion, printers in the print manufacturing and storekeeper in the administration of yearly orders, which can be called up in subsets. This structural change of orders, that has increased by implementing computers at our customer´s offices, demands substantial commercial training in the management. Without advanced economical training you will not exist in today's challenging markets.
