Our idea…
Back in the 80’s the founder of HS News Systems, Jon Hognestad, discovered the lack of modern equipment which could make the packing and distribution of magazines, books and newspapers more efficient. He saw the opportunity to make systems which could simplify and streamline the industry, both in the process of packing and of return. The result became todays HS News Systems.
