„In a constantly evolving world, it is the media technologies in particular that decisively fuel change.
Printing does not only look back on a long history but can also look forward to a promising future. New
developments and possibilities, like the printing of electronics, expand the traditional range of
applications considerably, thus strengthening the entire industry. Furthermore, competencies at the
interface between the printing industry and electronic media become increasingly important.“
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Arved C. Hübler, Head of pmTUC
