2023 in Essen
After the virtual UV Days in the Corona year 2021, IST is holding its in-house eleventh edition from 4 to 6 July 2023 again on site at its location in Nürtingen. Industry professionals and owners are invited to become part of the world’s largest in-house exhibition for UV and LED technology. With 55 exhibitors and more than 1,000 visitors from 41 countries, the last UV Days event in 2019 was bigger than ever before.
Since 2002, the UV Days have guaranteed first-hand expert knowledge, a diverse program, important industry contacts and a coherent overall concept. As a UV specialist, IST would like to focus on its bundled know-how together with industry participants and inform both UV and LED beginners as well as experts from printing and industrial applications from very different perspectives on the subject of UV technology. Impulse lectures, discussion rounds, laboratory tests and company tours round off the in-house exhibition.
The focus of UV Days 2023 will be the inauguration of the LED LAB and our new UV Technology Campus, which IST METZ will use as a research and knowledge platform. In future, customer visits, training courses and laboratory tests will take place here – live on site or via stream. The renovation work is currently in full swing, so that the UV Days will provide the ideal setting for a ceremonial opening. Register at https://reg.uvdays.de/uvdays2023
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
