David, you are right, there is a lot of activity going on in the corrugated space around digital printing. Karstedt Partners has been involved in bringing actionable intelligence and information to those in the industry for a long time and one of the things we continually heard was there is not enough valid information out there to make informed decisions. We decided early in 2019 to do something about that and after speaking to many converters and suppliers we launched our benchmarking study. It has been greatly received by the industry so far. I invite anyone interested in becoming part of the study or subscribing to the reports to contact me directly. I can be reached at [email protected] or +1 716-992-2017.
