Esko will partner with DuPont Packaging Graphics for the seventh Grand Prix Cyrel which is set to take place between March 22 - 25, 2007 in Valencia (Spain).

The Grand Prix Cyrel competition and the International Flexo-Print-Pack Congress - always held alongside each other - were established in 1982 and have developed in to a four-yearly landmark for the whole flexo industry.

Aimed at plate makers, trade shops, printers, converters, retailers and CPGs, the joint event has developed into a powerful engine to promote the growth of flexography within the printing packaging industry.

The Grand Prix Cyrel awards the best printed packages whilst highlighting the capabilities of flexo printing.

Providing the industry with a platform on which to meet, exchange ideas and demonstrate the power of flexography in packaging, it has gained a reputation for provoking strategic change in the minds of the key players that attend, commented Esko.

With the Grand Prix Cyrel, the producers hope to reach a new audience of consumer packaged goods companies and to place new and future technologies such as Cyrel digital, Cyrel Fast and Cyrel round, in the limelight.

Jef Stoffels, director of corporate marketing at Esko, said: "We are proud to partner with DuPont Packaging Graphics for this event.

Much more than just an exhibition, or a simple demonstration of packaging technologies and techniques, it has developed in to a key event for the whole flexo packaging industry." Pier Luigi Sassanelli, marketing communications and brand manager at DuPont Packaging Graphics Europe MEA, added: "DuPont printing plates and Esko design, reproduction and imaging technologies - it is such a natural connection.

We are so excited to be aligned with one of the world's most dynamic and innovative companies of pre-press and digital imaging technologies.

We are honoured to have been approached by Esko to partner with us also for these important conference and awards.".
