Litho Supplies: managing change
Article Abstract:
Litho Supplies has benefited from restructuring in the UK printing industry, which has meant that companies have been acquired or been taken over. Prices dropped by between 10% and 15% since the early 1990s recession. Litho has increased its operating profit to 6.57 million pounds sterling from 3.73 million pounds in the five years to 1996. The company will have sufficient funds for acquisitions in 1996, and only aims to acquire profitable concerns.
