Is there a limit to consolidation, especially among suppliers to the printing industry? The takeover of wideformat supplier AVS by Metal Manufactures Limited (MML), owners of Graphic Art Mart, is the latest in a string of mergers and takeovers that notably includes the new Ball & Doggett. Before that there was last year's Starleaton takeover of DES. Can there be any further major consolidations in Australia?

Customers still have plenty of choice, but you wouldn't want to see much less in the market. New Zealand is a different story.

Welcome to your latest issue of Print21, the premier news and information service to he printing industry across Australia and New Zealand.
