Visitors to Europe’s leading trade exhibition for the converting of web materials, such as paper, film, foil and nonwovens, will find a comprehensive range of new and improved machines and cutting-edge systems. The exhibition profile includes materials, products and services for treating, coating/laminating, drying/curing, slitting/rewinding and finishing. Control and measurement equipment, accessories, toll coating, software, consulting and waste removal, round off the range of exhibits.
This year, many of the products and services on display focus upon solutions that aim to optimise productivity and enhance product quality. Currently, cost awareness plays a pivotal role in the converting industry and a large number of new products and services on show address issues such as energy efficiency, wastage prevention and the environmental sustainability of fabrication processes.
“In times where almost every company is more or less affected by the global economic crises, it is more important than ever to make wise decisions when investing in the future,” comments Nicola Hamann, Exhibition Director, on behalf of Mack Brooks Exhibitions. “Europe’s leading converting exhibition ICE Europe 2009 is therefore the ideal platform to gain an overview of the latest trends and innovative products”, says Nicola Hamann.
