Interview with Dirk Jägers
Mr Jägers is the managing director of IST Metz GmbH of Nürtingen in Wurttemberg. IST Metz manufactures UV systems for the curing of inks and varnishes, adhesives and silicones, above all for the printing industry. Among other things, Mr Jäger talks about unexpected growth fields and the chances of digital printing.
Mr Jägers, ink curing with UV technology is a comparatively expensive method which is used above all in high-quality printing. IST Metz has established itself in this market niche. Will this niche be big enough in the future as well?
