We have been talking for some time about the likely mergers in a print sector that is rapidly changing shape so the GTMS/RS Sets move comes as little surprise, especially as they have been working together on projects for some time. What is more surprising is that we’ve heard of relatively few other companies pooling their resources in this way in the first half of 2012. OK, there are plenty of ad hoc, ‘you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours’ type of arrangements, but perhaps fewer official ‘mergers’ than we might have expected. Why do you think this is?
