Back in 2014, we met Jenny Holmén for the very first time. She didn't have a history in the printing industry nor any knowledge about running a bindery - however, that didn't stop her and her associated to invest in one of the bigger binderies in Sweden. We were and still are very fascinated with this story that has been told in three films - where this is the last film. It's the last film under all circumstances since Aros Bokbinderi was sold to a competitor at the beginning of 2019. Jenny Holmén and her team have put tremendous work into developing the bindery but had to conclude that it was a too big mouthful. Moving the equipment from one location to a new required far more money than anticipated and at the same time, a couple of important clients went bankrupt and left Aros with not only a loss but also a decreased turnover. This last film was recorded at PrintNext18 but not published until now - and in the film CEO Jenny Holmén openly tell about some of the problems they faced. Now Aros Bokbinderi is no longer owned by Jenny Holmén, Carl Arnesson, and Bo Roger Sandberg. On a more personal note, it's always sad when people that try to bring fresh blood to the industry don't succeed. The team had a plan and we have in both films and articles stressed that the willingness and risk taken from these three people are based on a professional way of running a business. Among the changes the staff experienced was self-management - and many more new exciting ways of operating a business. R.I.P.

Estonia is a small country in the Baltics with Russia, Latvia, Finland and Sweden as neighbors. With a population of only 1.4 million people and a size like Denmark and the Netherlands, the small population is concentrated in the capital Tallinn and with many printing companies for a country, this size export has been a focus since it's liberation from Russia back in the '80s. In this interview - filmed at PrintNext 19 in Stockholm, we talk to both Katre Savi who manages the Association of Estonian Printing & Packaging Industry as well as Piret Närep and Karol Karu from K-Print - a member and printer in Estonia. Get insight and listen to what KPI's the printers talk about in this film - GREAT.

The name David Zwang is well recognized in the printing industry and his work or maybe even better-expressed influence on the printing industry can't be underestimated. In this INKISH episode, David Zwang talks about workflow. Working as a consult for print service providers, as well as his writings on WhatTheyThink.com and of course his work in the Ghent Workgroup gives him unprecedented insight into what's important and not. One of the things Zwang touches upon in this episode is the misinterpretation of 'workflow' where he states that workflow has become more of a marketing buzz-word rather than a process description. But watch, listen, Like, and share.

Onlineprinters is among the three biggest online printing companies in Europe. Just a few weeks ago they announced customer number 1 million and even though this is "just" a number it's still impressive.

At the recent Press Tour 2018 INKSH in cooperation with WhatTheyThink.com got the chance to talk to CEO Dr. Michael Fries about this and that. Enjoy the very frank and open interview - and thank you Michae Fries for your time!

Jenny Holmén is one of the people that we at INKISH.TV have followed in the past years - and we plan to continue doing so. She is CEO of the Swedish bindery Aros Bokbinderi and one of the reasons this story is interesting is that Jenny Holmén, Carl Arnesson and Bo Roger Sandberg in 2015 decided to invest in a medium sized bindery with NO advanced knowledge about the printing industry. We have decided to follow Jenny Holmén and her team on their path to success. The path is based on a modern and very active management that leads the way investing time and money.

We did a portrait of Intermail back in May 2018 where CEO Anders Ertmann explained the transformation process the company was in the middle of.

We got the chance to talk with CEO Anders Ertmann about the changes at the latest Print Next 18 event in Stockholm.
