The event, held on 5 October, attracted current and past industry players, and was hosted by the IVE Print Management team, who generously conducted an extensive tour of the IVE Group’s vast web and sheetfed sites. The tour not only provided attendees with the opportunity to have an up-close look at the site, but also to witness its progress following the acquisition of Ovato and subsequent integration into IVE.
