SGAI extends support to ESMA IPI conference
11 August 2021: ESMA, the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association, has launched a new event for screen and digital printing in various manufacturing processes. The first edition of Industrial Print Integration (IPI) conference is scheduled to take place on November 23-24, 2021 in Neuss/Düsseldorf.
Screenprinting & Graphics Association of India (SGAI), India’s foremost, national-level association for the screen printing industry is supporting the conference as ‘Supporting Association.’ Sharing insights on the decision, Anil Brahmbhatt, President, SGAI, says, “We are happy to support the Industrial Print Integration Conference and I am sure that leading industrial screen printers from India would attend the same and benefit from the knowledge takeaways provided during the event. SGAI has always endeavoured to raise awareness levels and quality focus and this conference is an ideal forum to facilitate the same.”
“The goal of Industrial Print Integration is to introduce industry partners to a world of new manufacturing possibilities. We want to show the adaptability of a number of print processes from large to small, from ultra-precision to high speed, from volume production to customisation and mass customisation”, says Peter Buttiens, CEO of ESMA.
IPI will bring together experts from all industrial print technologies to consult on best case options as well as to provide tips on new developments, allowing manufacturers to compare strengths and identify best practices. Screen and pad printing, inkjet, spray coating, as well as other jetting techniques are all welcome to offer their solutions to today’s market’s crucial issues, including:
Technology:
– Advanced industrial printing
– Industrial print precision
– Modular print components
– Industry 4.0 integration
– High-level automatization
– Integration with robotics
Sustainability and environment:
– Energy consumption optimisation
– Reduction of emissions and waste
– Sustainable alternatives to non-print processes
Business-related concepts:
– On-demand and low cost production
– Customisation and even personalisation
– Near-shoring and future business models
ESMA conferences have been promoting industrial print applications for almost 15 years now. Events such as GlassPrint, Advanced Functional & Industrial Printing, Printed Interior Decoration and Direct Container Print have been successfully showing the way for printing on glass, plastics, aluminium, textiles, ceramics, wood and other materials.
“The last year-and-half, were times of trial but also a period of change and inspiring innovation. Now the moment comes to send a positive message to the world and show the resilience of specialist printing. We remain optimistic about global developments and want to celebrate the return of physical meetings at IPI 2021”, announces Peter Buttiens.
