What is happening in the printing and publishing industry in the Middle East?
The Middle East’s printing and publishing industry is witnessing unsurpassed growth and action. From Egypt to Lebanon to the United Arab Emirates, new publications are entering the market, and state-of-the-art printing technology is delivered and installed in print houses across the region.
