Baysek Machines Sells Die Cutter To Turkish Customer Via Zoom Demo When the clock ticked down to close 2019 and welcomed the New Year, who could have predicted 2020 would play out to be one of the most unpredictable years in world his- tory?

SuperCorrExpo 2020 was where the company planned to unveil a new digital post printer for corrugated and industrial boxes.
