Welcome to the 2019 IPMA Survey. We are surveying in-plants to identify best in class strategies. The goal is to create an objective source of information that can help in-plants understand how they compare to the leaders in the industry. Please be assured that your responses will be held in strict confidence.  In this survey there are about 40 questions broken into the following categories: equipment, services, marketing/sales, staffing / workflows, metrics / reporting, and value-added services. The survey should take 20-40 minutes to complete. The results will be made available in reports, articles, webinars and during presentations at Print 19, Printing United, and the IPMA 2019 show.Thank you for supporting in-plants.
