Prinovis, Europe's largest gravure printing company will decrease its workforce in Germany and will expand its European operations instead. In 2005, Prinovis was founded by the two German leading corporations in printed media Bertelsmann AG and Axel Springer AG (newspaper and printed media corporation) to save printing costs. In July 2006, Prinovis was said to face financial problems. The company made public that it was to cut 110 jobs at its Itzehoe and Ahrensburg plants.
On 28 September 2006 Prinovis announced that job cuts at the two plants will amount to 140-150 jobs within the next three years. There will be a hiring freeze in Germany.
A new plant has recently been established at Liverpool; another plant might by founded at France, the company announced.
