Which projects did you launch in 2026, and what new developments would you like to share?

One of our most significant developments in 2026 is a new flexographic printing and coating platform designed for plastic-free paper cup production. The machine features 8-color printing units and two downstream coating stations, enabling the application of functional mineral-based barrier coatings as an alternative to plastic laminations. The solution supports the production of fully recyclable and industrially compostable paper cups while maintaining high productivity and print quality.

Regulations and rising costs: how is your company responding to these two issues?

Sustainability regulations and increasing production costs are accelerating innovation across the industry. Our response focuses on reducing energy consumption, minimizing waste, improving process efficiency, and supporting water-based ink applications. We also develop technologies that help converters transition toward more sustainable packaging structures.

Training and new professionals: how do you support your clients, and what is your approach to internal recruiting?

We believe technology and expertise must grow together. We provide technical training, application support, and process consulting to our customers. Internally, we focus on recruiting motivated professionals with strong technical backgrounds and encourage continuous learning through hands-on experience and international collaboration.

What role do trade fairs play in boosting the development of new services and products?

Trade fairs remain essential for understanding market trends, customer expectations, and emerging technologies. They create valuable opportunities to exchange ideas with converters, suppliers, and brand owners, helping us accelerate innovation and develop solutions that respond to real production challenges.
