After Lockdown: Apparently Lexmark Europe Records An Increasing in Print Volume. With the easing of the lockdown and the ramping up of the industry, one can also observe an increase in print volumes, reports Michael Lang, Director Channel Sales DACH at Lexmark. “We see light at the end of the tunnel.” The lockdown also had an immediate impact on print volumes at the US printer manufacturer, Lang reports in his statement on the effects and challenges of the corona pandemic . While the printed pages in the automotive and manufacturing industries have collapsed, increasing volumes have been recorded in the so-called system-relevant areas that are served. The relocation of numerous workplaces to the home office has also shown an increased demand for entry-level devices.
“Our main challenge during the past weeks and months has certainly been to ensure and keep our supply chains intact,” reports the industry expert. Lexmark took the virus very early on and accordingly set up a task force and a business continuity plan very early on. “In addition, we opted for our various, globally distributed production locations, which stood in for each other during the regionally different lockdown times,” so that a loss of production at one location was immediately compensated for by the increased production at another location.
Be cautiously optimistic about the future. “We definitely see demand” thanks to the trends that are emerging due to Corona and for which you see yourself well positioned. Corona is the largest catalyst for digitization, including cloud solutions.
