Gregory Gettinger, executive vice president of M-real's Publishing Business Area, commented: "Our research tells us that customers want paper suppliers to pay more attention to overall supply and process efficiency.
Their key needs are speed, flexible production services, consistent quality and efficiency in the printing process.
