It is almost two months to the run-up to Drupa 2012, how do you rate your company’s performance in the current scenario?
Growing at the rate of 20%-25% was our plan but it did not happen. We experienced a slowdown. The print requirement of our customers had dropped. This resulted in very low conversion. As a result, our growth rate has been 10%-15%.

What investments are you focused on which you think is a must for your organisation?
We are focusing on the printing and post-press equipment. We would like to increase our printing capacity and are planning to add one refurbished six-colour sheetfed offset press. Currently, we have not decided on the manufacturer of the press.

Which product will you invest in to compete at the highest level?
In the post-press segment we would like to add one folder-gluer. It will mostly be Bobst. We will invest in the equipment after visiting Drupa.
