The print and manufacturing group is preparing to cut staff as it braces for further fallout from the pandemic
Printing and manufacturing group Novus is bracing for a tough 2021 after Covid-19 dealt a blow to SA’s already weak publishing sector.
“The Covid-19 pandemic struck in March 2020, causing some initial concern over potential impact, but when other countries and, especially SA, embarked on a lockdown the realities became obvious,” the group said. The group produces educational materials for governments and multinational publishers. Beyond traditional printing, Novus has a packaging division that offers wet-glue and wrap-around labels, pressure-sensitive labels and flexible plastic packaging.
