ABBs printing industry solutions expand despite challenging economic climate
Monday 11. January 2010 - Printing solution order intake increased in 2009
ABBs Center of Excellence for Printing, based in Switzerland, increased its orders in 2009, despite the difficulties that have faced the newspaper industry as a whole.
“It is a tribute to the work done by our entire organisation that we have managed to increase our order intake in 2009 compared to the previous year and also extend our customer base,” said Christian Villiger, global manager of ABBs Printing Center of Excellence. “The difficult circumstances in the newspaper industry have been a challenge for all suppliers, but the combination of the innovative solutions that ABB offers and the expertise of its team have enabled it to extend its market share.”
Villiger continues “we have seen significant increases in the areas of press retrofit and IT solutions for the production workflow. These have more than compensated for the slowdown in systems for new presses. This leaves ABBs printing organisation in a very healthy state and ready to take on whatever challenges 2010 will throw at it.”
