Self-Adhesive Labels Congress Moves East
The growing importance of central and eastern Europe as a production base and a market for self-adhesive labels is being recognised by FINAT.
Jules Lejeune, FINAT's managing director, said: "Having focused on the critical factors behind label companies' success during the previous two congresses, this year's programme will reflect the many challenges facing managers and executives in the rapidly changing business of today.
Global consolidation of markets, internationalisation of companies, generation change, worker emancipation, technological innovations and lean manufacturing are all having an impact on the professionalism and skills required by our industry's leaders." He continued: "In response to this we have lined up some top people from Germany and elsewhere who will provide new ideas to FINAT and VskE member company executives to help them manage the dynamic complexity of change." The congress will also feature a supplier table top exhibition of what's new on the market, the awards ceremony of the organisation's label competition, a preview of the forthcoming Labelexpo Europe show and a retrospective of the recent Euro-India Label Exchange, as well as the annual members' meetings of FINAT and VskE.
