June 2, 2016

Daetwyler Graphics is showcasing the CFM Econo at drupa

Daetwyler Graphics is debuting the advanced CFM P and its younger sibling, the CFM Econo at drupa 2016 (Hall 16 Stand D10). In addition, the company is showcasing its newly developed Finishstar SlimLine S. The grinding and polishing machine is an important component of an automatic cylinder line developed together with other Heliograph Holding companies. The CFM P – the company’s flagship for high-accuracy turning, grinding and polishing of gravure cylinders – has several additional features that increase quality and productivity. These include integrated diameter measurement, a greater degree of automation and more operating convenience. Together, these ensure achievement of the desired set point. Alternative grinding and polishing technologies also enable more homogeneous surfaces at noticeably shorter process times. Such innovations considerably
reduce production time and lead to massive increases in productivity.

Daetwyler Graphics’s Finishstar Slim LineS1410 grinding and polishing machine is making its first European appearance at drupa. This newest machine generation is designed for integration into fully automatic production lines that manufacture hollow gravure cylinders with ball lengths of upto 1400mm and a maximum weight of 150kg. Optimal process times that guarantee high throughput, coupled with compact and space saving construction, make this equipment the ideal component for the automated concept of the future that the Heliograph Holding is bringing about.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.

As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.

The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
