Asahi Photoproducts to host open house in Belgium

Asahi Photoproducts, a flexographic photopolymer plate development company and a subsidiary of Asahi Kasei, is hosting an open house event from April 9-10 at its European headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

This event, which will take place just before the 'Shaping the Future with Packaging' conference by FTA Europe and Intergraf, offers an opportunity to network and gain industry insights.

This open house is tailored for narrow and wide web converters, including decision-makers and production experts, who will be able to learn about sustainable flexographic printing printing. A key focus will be Asahi’s SolventZero Eco-System, featuring AWP CleanPrint water-washable plates and AFP-R solvent-saving plate technology, designed to enhance efficiency and environmental performance in flexographic printing. There will also be presentations from industry leaders at partner companies such as Esko, Gallus, Apex, Heidelberg Web Carton Converting, Lohmann, Comexi and Chespa.

Masaki Matsumoto, managing director of Asahi Photoproducts Belgium, said: 'At Asahi, we are committed to driving sustainable innovation in flexographic printing. This open house is an excellent opportunity to catch up with current trends in flexographic packaging printing, exchange knowledge and connect with industry peers. Our Solvent Zero initiative reflects our dedication to a cleaner and more efficient flexographic industry.'

Participation in the open house is free of charge but requires confirmation by Asahi via email. Open house attendees are eligible for a discounted ticket for the conference, where Asahi Photoproducts will serve as a gold sponsor.
