Pauker Printing Industry LLC is one of Hungary’s leading printing enterprises. With its printing capacity over 4 million 4+4 color pages per day, the company is at the forefront in the production of prints featuring artistic value as well as high volume printing. In line with its equipment fleet, Pauker primarily specializes in one‐pass 4+4 color printing.

The main activities of the company include the printing of catalogues, brochures, annual reports, advertising materials, leaflets, journals, quarterly, monthly and weekly papers, periodicals, books (adhesive bound, thread stitched – adhesive bound, hardcover) and other specialized publications.

In 1992 Stanctechnik Kft started its activity with the production of cutting tools in a small workshop. Over the past 15 years it has developed on several production sites to build now a huge business complex. The foresight and the ongoing developments undertaken by Mr. Tibor Hermann, the company's owner, have lead Stanctechnik Kft to become the largest independent bindery in Hungary. The Hungarian printing industry went through a structural change and now Stanctechnik kft is virtually the only one company in Budapest with big binding capacities.

The bindery is equipped with modern machinery that is suitable for the production of cardboard magazines, brochures and books with hard cover binding in excellent quality. It also provide services in, for example, thread stitching, folding, cover production, mounting, etc.

Situated on both banks of the Danube, Buda, Pest and Óbuda (Old Buda) were united in 1873 and further settlements (Újpest, Kispest, Nagytétény) were joined in 1950 making today's „Great Budapest". Budapest is rich in UNESCO World Heritage sites: the view of the Danube embankments, the Buda Castle District, Andrássy Avenue with Heroes’ Square and the Millennium Underground Railway are now internationally protected areas of the Hungarian capital.

Of the capital cities of the world Budapest is also the richest in thermal springs, and therefore the bath culture has been thriving since the Roman times.
