Life moves on for Rex Rozario OBE, ever since he restructured Graphic Plc (UK), Graphic Inc., USA and the Chinese joint venture DSG shared with Italian partner Somacis, who also had two plants in Italy and one in the USA. Graphic and Somacis combined all theirfacilities into four individual operations: Graphic Plc. in the UK, DSG in China, Somacis USA, and Somacis Spa Italy. They are all held within a 100% controlling company, Fine PCB SpA, headquartered in Milan, and incorporating Investment Financiers Quadrivio of Italy. Rozario is a director and prominent shareholder of Fine PCB SpA.
