FIRSTAN
The company exploits its enviable position on the A1
manufacturing technology has not only ensured the durability of the company in the face of sometimes adverse market conditions , but has also created a system that delivers fantastic results for its customers . Perhaps the most interesting example of this is the adoption of Xrite colour management systems , which has reduced make ready times by up to 30 percent , as well as cutting waste by 50 percent . This surely represents the ‘ sweet spot ’ of implementing new tech – delivering returns to the business , the customer , and the environment . Hartwig is proud of the work his design team does , he said , “ We supply to a lot of major retailers , and the feedback we get is that they have not seen anything as creative as Firstan .”
