Hello

For the past couple of years, although Indian packaging didn’t really slow down, commercial and publication printing were affected by the considerable contraction in advertising and marketing spends. To some extent, this downturn in the end of the 08-09 financial year continued in the 09-10 financial year ending on 31 March 2010. While we cannot yet speak about the newspaper industry’s recovery, there is a distinct bounce back in the commercial printing sector of the 10-11 financial year.

This newsletter contains a few stories from our first Ipex review in the June print issue. Among these are Shanghai Electric’s acquisition of Goss, our interview of Jochen Meissner, and our reports on the digital presses at the show. Reports of Degaussers by Pitney Bowes and Martin Yale and Chinese eReaders are also included among many other stories and our Jobs of the Week section.
