ITALY - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Italy has a diversified industrial economy, which is divided into a developed industrial north, dominated by private companies, and a less-developed, welfare-dependent, agricultural south, with high unemployment. The Italian economy is driven in large part by the manufacture of high-quality consumer goods produced by small and medium-sized enterprises, many of them family owned. Italy also has a sizable underground economy, which by some estimates accounts for as much as 17% of GDP. These activities are most common within the agriculture, construction, and service sectors. Italy is the third-largest economy in the euro-zone, but exceptionally high public debt burdens and structural impediments to growth have rendered it vulnerable to scrutiny by financial markets. Public debt has increased steadily since 2007, reaching 120% of GDP in 2011, and borrowing costs on sovereign government debt have risen to record levels. During the second half of 2011 the government passed a series of three austerity packages to balance its budget by 2013 and decrease its public debt burden. These measures included a hike in the value-added tax, pension reforms, and cuts to public administration. The government also faces pressure from investors and European partners to address Italy's long-standing structural impediments to growth, such as an inflexible labor market and widespread tax evasion. The international financial crisis worsened conditions in Italy''s labor market, with unemployment rising from 6.2% in 2007 to 8.4% in 2011, but in the longer-term Italy''s low fertility rate and quota-driven immigration policies will increasingly strain its economy. The euro-zone crisis along with Italian austerity measures have reduced exports and domestic demand, slowing Italy''s recovery. Italy''s GDP is still 5% below its 2007 pre-crisis level.

 Pantone and X-Rite Introduce PantoneLIVE; Allows Brand Owners to Manage Color in the Cloud

Pantone LLC

 

 

Information Technology Newsweekly
07 March 2012

 

 

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

X-Rite, Incorporated (NASDAQ: XRIT) and Pantone LLC, today unveiled PantoneLIVE�, a cloud-based color service that provides instant access to essential brand color standards. PantoneLIVE is the first service under the Pantone Digital Business Unit, a newly created division of X-Rite that is the byproduct of Pantone's expertise as the world's color authority and X-Rite's color science and technology leadership.

From chocolates and champagne to soda and stilettos, the past year has been wrought with cases of counterfeiting, deception and consumer confusion - all tied to the ubiquitous colors that uniquely identify brands. Cadbury and Veuve Clicquot were involved in high-profile legal battles to own their brand colors, while Christian Louboutin fought to trademark its signature red soles. With color so critically tied to brand identity, inconsistent brand color can lead to a lack of consumer confidence and lost sales.

In a recent survey conducted by the Pantone Color Institute*, more than 70 percent of creatives noted that brand color definitions, accuracy and consistency in creating products or packaging are important to their business, while 42 percent indicated that color-related challenges have a negative impact on their company. "Nearly 50 years ago, Pantone brought consistency and a common language to an industry that lacked standardization. Historically an analog process, reliant on centuries' old color alchemy, printing and production have advanced with technology in the digital age," said Ron Potesky, senior vice president and general manager of Pantone. "PantoneLIVE digitizes the process, taking it from visual and subjective to consistent and repeatable - significantly reducing production timelines and improving the bottom line."

"PantoneLIVE represents a transformational change in color management for brand owners across their entire supply chain," explained Tom Vacchiano, president and CEO of X-Rite. "Our own Dr. Sonia Megert, whose vision for the digital supply chain led to the development of PantoneLIVE, will head the new Pantone Digital Business Unit."

"Globally consistent color standards are essential to brand identity. With supply chains made up of hundreds of different facilities scattered around the world, corporations struggle to control and maintain color consistency," said Dr. Megert. "PantoneLIVE is a dynamic ecosystem, open to all supply chain participants, which delivers consistent color across the entire packaging workflow - from design concept to retail store shelves."

Brand color standards are the principal component of PantoneLIVE and are derived from real ink on real substrates using real printing processes. This allows brand owners to predict how corporate spot colors will reproduce on a wide variety of substrates including brown corrugated, clear film and white polypropylene. A brand's color assets, analogous to a brand's color DNA, are managed and maintained in a secure cloud-based data repository to ensure accurate color communication - to any supplier, around the world.

"The benefits of using PantoneLIVE are clear," says Nigel Dickie, director of corporate and government affairs for Heinz (see Beanz Meanz Heinz and Knowing about Color case study). "The digital tools gave us unprecedented control and consistency from different print processes and materials. Across all of our packaging formats we saw a reduction in color variance of 50 percent and saved time by establishing one color target that can be applied to all our Heinz Beanz designs. The results with our Beanz packaging have been so remarkable that we plan to extend PantoneLIVE to additional product lines, including Heinz soups and Spaghetti Hoops."

While accurate color is important to the brand identity of consumer packaged goods, protecting brand integrity in the pharmaceutical industry is crucial as counterfeit drugs put the health of consumers at risk. Chesapeake (see Accurate Brand Colors Help Stem Drug Counterfeiting case study), a global producer of consumer packaging for many of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, turned to PantoneLIVE to increase consistency in its customers' packaging. When it comes to pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications, even the slightest variation in packaging color can make a product suspect and the brand vulnerable to counterfeiting.

On one job, for example, Chesapeake was able to reduce color variation by 84 percent and improve process controls, which led to zero rejections from the print run and 100 percent client approval. PantoneLIVE is creating another positive impact on Chesapeake's business. The company previously stocked as many as 3,000 different inks in its Leicester, U.K. plant and now stores only 537 without reducing color choices.

PantoneLIVE is connected to a large portfolio of software, containing real-world color data for hundreds of thousands of colors, and is supported by the latest color measurement technology. This is combined with professional services including workflow and color rationalization audits, and customized operating procedures from Pantone and X-Rite. Custom and bespoke spectral data, as well as metadata, are used to digitize brand colors. Digitized palettes are then expanded to create independent color standards to allow for accurate color reproduction on a variety of substrates.

Brand color data, equivalent to a digital color swatch, is stored in a secure, cloud-based portal that lets brand owners and other approved members of the supply chain manage digital rights and facilitate color communication across all materials in the production process. This centralized color communication process promotes consistency and helps achieve speed to market efficiencies from initial design to final production. The portal also provides direction to suppliers to meet brand requirements related to color quality. Industry Support While users of any manufacturer's ink will be able to take advantage of PantoneLIVE, Sun Chemical (see Sun Chemical press release) is the preferred ink partner. Esko (see Esko press release), a global supplier of integrated solutions for packaging, sign and display finishing, commercial printing and professional publishing, is also a preferred partner supporting PantoneLIVE. Both companies worked closely with Pantone and X-Rite to develop PantoneLIVE. Sun Chemical's technology and color data are the foundations for PantoneLIVE, and this technology is integrated into Esko's solutions.

In addition, Windmoller & Holscher, a leading supplier of flexographic central impression and rotogravure printing presses, is recognized as the PantoneLIVE technology partner, serving the flexible packaging industry. In this unique capacity, Windmoller & Holscher will extend the capability of their EASY COL on-press color matching solution to incorporate access to the PantoneLIVE ecosystem, thereby allowing converters to reduce press set-up times and in turn assure the quality of important brand colors on press.

Pantone and X-Rite are continuing to work with leading vendors to integrate and enhance their solutions with PantoneLIVE. This approach will offer customers real value in the color management and color communications process, while leaving much of their current investments in place. Pricing and Availability Access to the PantoneLIVE database starts at $99 USD (�63 GBP, �76 EUR) annually for a designer, $1,150 USD (�730 GBP, �885 EUR) annually for preproduction and from $2,000 USD (�1,275 GBP, �1,540 EUR) to $2,650 USD (�1,690 GBP, �2,040 EUR) annually for production. A color audit for a brand owner starts at $4,500 USD (�2,870 GBP, �3,460 EUR). Additional fees apply depending on services and scope required. PantoneLIVE solutions will be available June 15. For more information, please see www.pantone.com/live. About X-Rite X-Rite, Incorporated, is the global leader in color science and technology. The company, which now includes color industry leader Pantone, develops, manufactures, markets and supports innovative color solutions through measurement systems, software, color standards and services. X-Rite's expertise in inspiring, selecting, measuring, formulating, communicating and matching color helps users get color right the first time and every time, which translates to better quality and reduced costs. X-Rite serves a range of industries, including printing, packaging, photography, graphic design, video, automotive, paints, plastics, textiles, dental and medical.

Northern Virginia Hair Salon, Salon Khouri, To Donate $5 from Each Color Service to The American Heart Association in February

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

Salon Khouri, an acclaimed Northern Virginia hair salon described by Northern Virginia magazine as "an innovative beauty respite that defies the ordinary" has announced that they will be donating $5 from every color service to the American Heart Association in February.

"We thought what better way to honor love this February than by giving to the American Heart Association," said Jonathan Elkhouri, owner and Master Hairstylist at the Fairfax hair salon.

Since opening their doors in 2006, Salon Khouri has always found ways to give back to the community. To date, the salon has raised over $7300 for pediatric cancer research funding through their yearly Cut-a-Thon to "cut out" neuroblastoma in honor of Ashburn, VA resident Taylor Love. Salon Khouri also holds an annual "Pink Hair for Hope" campaign where proceeds raised go toward Breast Cancer Research. To date, the salon has raised $2620 toward this program. Other community programs include an annual food drive, a recycling program, and participation in the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program which donates wigs made from donated hair to cancer patients.

"Probably one of the most unique programs we've participated in was with Matter of Trust where we were sweeping up hair clippings and mailing them to them to make hair booms to clean up the oil spill in the gulf. It was an amazingly simple concept that worked," stated Jennifer Elkhouri, co-owner of Salon Khouri.

For more information about any of Salon Khouri's products, services, or community efforts, call 703-273-7878, view the salon on the web at http://www.salonkhouri.com or visit 11725 Lee Highway in Fairfax, VA.

About Salon Khouri

Salon Khouri was founded in 2005 and is located in Fairfax, VA. The salon offers a full menu of hair services and is a top-rated salon in the Northern Virginia area. Owner Jonathan Elkhouri has trained with Nick Arrojo at his SoHo, NY studio and is a stylist to several Washington DC celebrities. Services include haircuts, colors, highlights, keratin treatments, extensions, and waxing.
