Industry:
Manufacturing: Printing Machinery
Challenge:
To gain transparency across the business
Muller Martini makes machinery for the printing and print finishing industries, including book binding, stitching and both soft and hard cover production. It has battled with one other company in each sector to be market leader since the company’s inception in 1947. In fact, if you’ve ever picked up a quality book, there’s a very good chance the finishing will have been performed by a Muller Martini machine.
