AB Graphic International (ABG) recently opened its doors to almost 150 label and packaging professionals, all keen to see the very latest products and solutions from ABG and its partners, including ACTEGA Metal Print.
The theme of the event had a firm focus on the future of the industry. The day centered around live demonstrations of highly technical equipment designed to drive some of the most important developments and improvements toward automated and sustainable packaging production.
Herma, Hybrid Software, CERM, and GEW UV were included in the line-up of ABG partners supporting the event. In addition, two partners were given time in the program to address the event guests on the topic of sustainability – MAAN Engineering who presented their coating and coating equipment for ground-breaking linerless labels, and Paolo Grasso, Sales Director for ECOLEAF. Paolo explained the many benefits of this pioneering metallization technology alongside digital labels specialist and ECOLEAF customer, Springfield Solutions.
“To be with some of our most valued partners, surrounded by so many people interested in the opportunities made possible by ECOLEAF technology was fantastic,” explained Paolo. “At the top of everyone’s agenda is how we can automate production, a topic where ABG is truly pushing boundaries and, Mercian Labels, has taken the lead. Adrian Steele, Managing Director of Mercian Labels, gave an inspiring speech on how his company has forged ahead with automation optimization, supported by their collaboration with ABG.
“Of course, the other hot topic is how we reduce our carbon footprint while supporting brands to do the same and still delivering the quality and impact required to stand out on the shelf. ECOLEAF offers a solution that supports this multifaceted objective in every way. The people present at ABG’s event and many others around the world can see that ECOLEAF will enable them to operate profitably and sustainably, future-proofing their business and contributing to an even greater cause – the well-being of our planet.
