Poised for Growth

What's ahead

Like virtually all other package-printing companies, YORK Label had to work through a difficult business environment throughout most of 2009. "We faced challenges along with our customers, particularly in luxury product categories (e.g., high-end wine), and felt the impact of de-stocking across the supply chain and trade down towards lower priced products," says McKernan. The company met the challenges head-on with several plant consolidations, SG&A (selling, general, and administrative) reductions, and tight cost control.
