Sternfenster’s Mike Parczuk has been quite vocal as the industry suffers from a rash of pre-packs. Can they ever be a good thing? Do they retain jobs or are they a ‘get out of jail’ card for companies with poor governance?

Mike discusses the issue of ‘value’ and how that applies throughout the supply chain. “Can we, as an industry do anything about it or is it indicative of a level of dishonesty when companies talk about the number of frames made per week?
