For all who seek advice on printing for industrial applications, entering new market areas or adopting a digital printing strategy, ESMA launches the Expert Team with free support at drupa 2016. Representing the association’s members and technology partners, the team will be available at ESMA Lounge (hall 3, B70) to share their expertise in printing requirements for specific market sectors. An exclusive ESMA publication features articles provided by the experts and is now available online.

During the entire drupa show the team will consist of eight experts:

  • Jochen Christiaens (speciality chemistry and turning from analogue to digital printing for various applications)

As part of the broader approach to stimulate integration of printing in diverse manufacturing processes, as well as to improve training and knowledge, the expert sessions are accompanied by an exclusive ESMA publication. With five technical articles from the Expert Team members, the booklet provides an introduction to different challenges which can certainly be recognised by printing companies. The first copies of the publication will be distributed at drupa and the PDF version is now available under this link.

ESMA Celebrates the Record Total of Members and Elects a New Ambassador during the General Assembly in Budapest

Delegates to the yearly General Assembly of ESMA came together for two days in the heart of the Hungarian capital. The meeting was accompanied by a keynote presentation, the election of Walter Frick as ESMA Ambassador and a networking dinner joined by representatives of the local printing com­munity.

In the afternoon of 7th April 2016 Lutz Walter delivered a keynote speech on the current situation and future trends of Europe’s textile industry. The secretary general of the Textile European Technology Platform highlighted the exciting developments awaiting this market sector and showcased how various printing techniques drive the change. The next speech came from Walter Frick, a long-term member of Marabu Inks’ management board and one of the “founding fathers” as well as past-Chairmen of ESMA, who was awarded the association’s Honourable Ambassador. Walter re-collected the reasons ESMA was founded 26 years ago; the same principles apply today. “During my years at ESMA I could observe the growing confidence between the member companies who knew one another only as a neighbour on the market or a more or less aggressive competitor. With time, close cooperation and sometimes friendship could grow up, which was very helpful for our common tasks. I understand this award as a symbol of this confidence and good human relations between all ESMA members”, stated the new Ambassador.

After an evening of fruitful discussions, finding new contacts and re-connecting, the General Assembly commenced on 8th April with a look back on the last twelve months. Those included the record-breaking second edition of The Inkjet Conference, the premiere Direct Container Print, the sixth edition of GlassPrint and Advanced Functional and Industrial Printing conference in March this year. All events not only delivered outstanding content about technology advancements but also grew industry’s awareness of ESMA activities and expertise, attracting new members and partners. By now, ESMA member base has reached 74 companies, a record high in the organisation’s history.

General Assembly 2016 closed with an overview of future projects. ESMA presence at drupa 2016 will focus on two pavilions in halls 3 and 6, and the launch of the Expert Team. Oliver Kammann, the incumbent chairman of the association, says: “Through our conferences we already deliver valuable content to members, printers, manufacturers and brand owners. With the introduction of the ESMA Expert Team we further intend to strengthen our position as the leading information source by providing focused advice, training classes and consultation to our members, their clients and the industry.”
