EPC Impianti stands out for its engineering approach based on the assessment of the state of the art of existing plants, which represents the starting point for the customization of every project. Technological decisions stem from a structured evaluation of process data, operational performance, and the customer’s production goals. This approach transforms data into a driver for innovation and process optimization, while also representing added value for customers investing in technological advancement.

In recent years, the flexible packaging industry has experienced significant growth in investments in plants and technologies, often aimed at improving VOC abatement efficiency in order to comply with increasingly stringent emission limits. However, these investments do not always arise from an effective analysis of actual operational needs and, in many cases, fail to ensure sustainable short-term returns on investment.

The key issue remains the limited visibility of the real costs involved: beyond the initial and easily identifiable CAPEX, factors such as energy consumption, inefficiencies, and material waste have a substantial impact over time. Within this context, EPC Srl has launched a market research study involving leading companies in the packaging industry, with the aim of analyzing how data is currently being used in decision-making and production processes. The results will be presented during the Print4All Conference, providing insights into the key drivers for improvement across the industry.
