Labelexpo Europe success for Raflatac

18.10.2005

This year’s Labelexpo Europe was a success for Raflatac and UPM Rafsec. Raflatac had a strong showing, welcoming visitors from all over the world to its stand during the four-day event held in Brussels on September 21-24. With a total of over 23 000 visitors and nearly 500 exhibitors, comprising all the major players, the exhibition was the biggest ever.

Globally Pro Label

Raflatac’s theme at this year’s Labelexpo was the company’s new Pro Label promise. Raflatac’s core focus was on its expanding range of multifunctional filmic labelstocks for especially the personal care and beverage end-use segments.

The opening keynote at the expo was presented by Thomas Rohweder, Senior Vice President, Raflatac Europe, who gave an overview of the current climate in the European label market. Rohweder discussed brand owner packaging trends and requirements and focused on challenges as well as opportunities for the industry’s growth and development.

At the press conference, Heikki Pikkarainen, President of UPM Labelstock business, announced Raflatac’s most recent investment to double the company’s films capacity in Europe by the full modernization of the Tampere film lamination line.
