Mr Büntemeyer is the CEO of Kolbus GmbH & Co. KG. This long-established company based in Rahden in Westphalia manufactures bookbinding machines. Among other things, Mr Büntemeyer talks about the changes taking place in the printing industry and the effects of the euro crisis on this industry.
Mr Büntemeyer, more and more people use e-books. The number of suppliers of reading devices is also rising, like, for instance, Amazon with the Kindle or Apple with its iPad. What does this development mean for Kolbus?
Kai Büntemeyer: The e-book will probably be of low importance for us. As a luxury consumer mftq, wn sk le g forexpso qp hsa rdj.
