Our series of videos from Sign and Digital UK continues with James Matthews-Paul's interview with Arthur Vanhoutte, president of Mutoh Belgium, covering Mutoh's approach to economic pressures and how it represented itself at the show. Covered in the interview are direct questions about the company's restructuring decisions in 2011, the aftermath of last year's Great East Japan Earthquake and its potential effects on the supply chain, and environmental responsibility.
