The FINIDR printworks is one of the largest producers of hardback and paperback books in the Czech Republic and Central Europe.
Founded in 1994, FINIDR has specialised since its inception in printing books, catalogues and non-periodicals. Today the FINIDR printworks counts among the largest producers of hardback and paperback books in Central Europe. An individual approach, flexibility, client service in 5 languages, competitive prices, short lead times, quality and 25 years of tradition are the main factors behind its long-standing cooperation with a number of major Czech and European publishers. With an annual turnover of almost a billion and approximately 500 employees, the company produces about 24 million books annually, sold in 45 countries worldwide. Each book has a different number of pages, a different format and layout and up to 400 other parameters that determine not only its final appearance but also, and in particular, the method of production.

Witold Palowski, Director of Production Preparation and Administration with FINIDR, about Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) and Infor CPQ products:
“The Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) ERP system has long been enabling us to meet the challenges of the printing industry, especially the progressively increasing customer requirements for flexibility, quality and delivery times. The integration with the Infor CPQ Configurator is expected to streamline the quoting process, further enhancing our ability to process more orders and increase overall productivity. We appreciate the experience of our implementation partner ITeuro, who helped us to select and apply a world-proven tool for our needs, which they have tried and tested in other projects. As a result, we do not fear replacing the existing solution from our own development, which was reliable but maintenance-intensive and difficult to develop.”
Witold Palowski, Director of Production Preparation and Administration with FINIDR, about the Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) ERP:
“For us ERP SyteLine is a tool that today is an integral part of our company. It effectively works as a foundation on which a functional house can be built. This solid foundation allows us to duly maintain and improve the house to meet the ever-changing demands coming from both inside and outside.”
