An external Kern office is established in Rostock, which strengthens the media production team in Bexbach with two graphic designers. However, following the departure of both employees, the office has to be closed again after just one year.
As it is becoming increasingly difficult across industries to fill open apprenticeship positions, Kern is able to recruit four trainees from Tunisia for print finishing.
Brochure production is expanded with an additional Heidelberg Stitchmaster ST 450 saddle stitcher.
