Opinion
Look in and look back ...
... dear readers, is our recommendation to you in this handling magazine, the last print edition for this year. We have been able to report on many interesting solutions and applications. Best of 2018 - we have set the highlights of the year as a special: from page 30 onwards, we have compiled twenty selected articles that describe remarkable applications and which our readers also liked and clicked on very often.
Just in time for the pre-Christmas period, we have laid out a table of specialist books for you in our Scene section from page 9 onwards and have already read through them in advance. You should definitely pick up a book or two for the holidays.
Of course, the usual annual review of everything that has happened and was significant also includes an initial preview: Our topics and schedule for 2019 have been finalized, we have a lot planned again - in print, online and at events - and are looking forward to the news and reports that you send us from everyday industry life. Thank you very much for this! It is only thanks to your input that we can develop our specialist editorial work into a genuine industry information platform and fully satisfy reader interest. We look forward to continuing this in the coming year.
I wish you a wonderful pre-Christmas period, peaceful holidays and a happy and prosperous New Year!
Best wishes from the handling editorial team,
Yours
Petra Born
Editor-in-Chief handling
