Soma opens new conference and training facility

Soma Engineering has officially opened its Vila Globe conference facility, a 500 sq m (5,400 sq ft) addition adjacent to its Soma Globe Training and Demonstration Centre.

The former private dwelling and cold store was especially converted for training purposes and forms part of an up to one million EUR (1.4 million USD) investment program

Together with the partner companies that form the Soma Globe Alliance, it is anticipated that the new facility will host regular annual conferences on a wide range of printing and packaging technologies. The opening of the new facility was combined with the company’s second annual flexo conference in May, where the company outlined the opportunities it sees in the narrow web label printing industry.

Located just a few metres away from Soma Globe Training and Demonstration Centre, the former private dwelling and cold store was especially converted for training purposes and forms part of an up to one million EUR (1.4 million USD) investment program.

The facility is capable of housing up to 25 people in a classroom-style setting, and can be expanded to hold up to 70 for conference programs.
