Jean-Pascal Bobst: What we showed at Labelexpo Europe demonstrates our vision of the future of the industry – more digitization, more connectivity and the ability to supply most, if not all, required solutions for flexo and digital. We see growing demand for labels, packages and packaging machinery, and this has driven growth for us in the last few years. Along with that, we have made significant digital investments, including in our Mouvent technology, which supports digital printing in five industries, and into Industry 4.0 solutions that we believe will shape the future of packaging production across labels, flexible packaging, folding carton and corrugated board. The goal is to move from a PDF file to an end product with as little human intervention as possible. It’s all about the ability for stakeholders to be connected to a digital and automated workflow, accessing cloud-based information anytime, anywhere, for a flexible and agile collaborative operation. BOBST can provide software, ink, machines and strong relationships that help customers make the necessary transformations in their businesses.
