Kodak showed 20 new technologies and products at drupa but there are two or three main themes that one has to keep sorting out when referring to its overall presence at the show. The first is Kodak’s announcement a few weeks before the show that it was pursuing the sale of its Prosper Enterprise Inkjet Division because it did not have the extensive capital and other resources to market this technology. The company said at its drupa press conference that there were several suitors looking to buy its Enterprise Inkjet Division.

In order to meet the increasingly demanding standards in the flexible packaging industry for barrier applications and products with longer shelf-life, Bobst has developed DarkNight, a unique and innovative process to produce high barrier metallized films through its K5000 and K4000 vacuum metallizing platforms.

Bobst, one of world’s leading suppliers of equipment and services to packaging and label manufacturers in the folding carton, corrugated board and flexible materials industries, is celebrating its anniversary by launching a year of events. Under the motto ‘125 Years: For The Next Generation,’ Bobst will hold a year of events from autumn 2015 to autumn 2016. The anniversary celebrations are being projected as a tribute to those who have played a part in laying the foundation that the company intends to bequeath to future generations, the cornerstone of which resides in customer satisfaction. The company was founded in Lausanne in 1890 and since then it has built an ambitious international economic project.
