Let's Talk
P+P: What is your company's top priority for the new year?
EB: Now that we've developed a truly global solution, it's time for us and for our clients to take advantage of the benefits.
P+P: What is the biggest problem(s) facing the industry today? Do you foresee any improvement?
EB: In order for printed materials to continue to deliver positive economic benefits to the end-user, the production of the materials has to be as efficient and affordable as possible. Today, there is far too much waste in the supply chain. For example, too many jobs are not being produced at the right facility, and huge sums of money are being paid to a structurally flawed direct manufacturing sales force. We see valuable capacity not being utilized, price discrimination, very little optimization of freight and distribution costs and many other issues. We hope the pace of change will accelerate in the months and years ahead to help preserve the long-term health of our industry.
