Recently Tecnau sent out a press release stating that they have acquired SITMA. SITMA is also located in northern Italy and specializes in packaging and logistics solutions. In this interview with CEO Stefano De Marco from Tecnau, De Marco explains some of the reasons why SITMA, in his opinion, is a good fit for Tecnau and how SITMA and Tecnau complement each other. He also explains that SITMA has customers in segments other than Tecnau and a different market presence, giving both companies new opportunities. SITMA will continue to operate under the SITMA brand - but, of course, seeking to explore the synergies.

Interesting chat with Simon Lewis from Highcon!

Preparations for drupa are in focus, and many things have changed at Highcon since the 2016 edition. If you were there, you for sure remember the booth and the beautiful paper dresses that were used to show how great highcon products are - but also a bit misaligned with today's strategies, which are razer-focused on folding cartons and corrugated - and in this interview with VP Strategy & Marketing, Simon Lewis we get a great insight into what to expect. Enjoy!

This is a VERY interesting film - full disclaimer - I love it. Karis Copp interviewed Jordy Silva de Jong in a recent interview done at FESPA - and we simply had to talk with him about their project SignAgain. Probo is a large reseller-only wide-format production company in the Netherlands, and as so many companies experience - they produce waste from the production. Still, they also deliver products that often end up in landfills or are burned. Probo has now turned waste into a viable recycling venture called SignAgain, which takes PVC waste and recycles this into new boards with many great properties - and in this film, you can hear and see all about it. And pay attention to the Wonderland event Jordy Silva de Jong speaks about initially.

English Subtitles will be ready soon. Wat zijn de eerste indrukken van de organisator van de Sign&Print Expo 2023? We komen het te weten van Rowdy Van Nieuwenhuizen, Head of Event bij Easyfairs. Winnen de regionale en meer gefocuste vakbeurzen aan tractie en hoe staan de exposanten en bezoekers hier nu tegenover. Zijn fysieke events nog relevant? Ook deze editie blijkt weer een aantrekkelijke propositie die steeds meer bezoekers, niet enkel uit Nederland, maar ook steeds vaker uit Vlaanderen en zelfs Duitsland aantrekt. De combo met het erg geslaagde BOPE (Benelux Online Print Event) – door VIGC georganiseerd op dinsdag was alvast een extra stimulans en bracht heel wat extra volk mee naar de beursvloer. Goed bezig dus, volgende zitting mogelijks in een nieuw jasje in 2025!

English subtitles will soon be ready. Zijn achternaam verraadt het tegendeel van wat ze eigenlijk doen, met name Hotfoil veredeling. Een warm gesprek dus over het initiatief van 3 spelers in de drukwerkveredeling met het gezamenlijke doel om het “foilen” weer wat meer onder de aandacht van de druksector te brengen. INKISH eigen Jacques Michiels bracht een bezoek aan het Folie Expertise plein dat centraal gevestigd is op deze Sign & Print Expo.

English Subtitles will soon be ready. Op Sign&PrintExpo23 werkt de Nederlandse integrator GrafiStore “samen” met verschillende standhouders (Omikai – Enfocus – Canon – GrafiStore). Aan de hand van een real life bestel- en productieproces (met een posterprint als uitvoer op de Canon stand) willen zij de nieuwe mogelijkheden van API-koppelingen duidelijk maken. Productieprocessen hoeven niet over over-gecompliceerd te zijn als ze maar van in het begin duidelijk en transparant worden uitgetekend. Vaak goede redenen om een bekwame integrator onder de arm te nemen. Gerlen verteld er ons meer over en wat ze in de Be-ne(lux) markt neerzetten.

English Subtitles will be ready soon. Jacques Michiels in gesprek met de dealer en Nederlandse importeur van Plockmatic – Morgana, vooral bekend van de auto-creaser en rilmachines voor digitaal drukwerk.
