Following the nomination as a finalist in the shortlist of the 2014 Label Industry Global Awards, Gidue has been awarded with the Label Global Award for Innovation for the Digital Flexo Excellence Project, the latest technology launched by Gidue for the labels and packaging industry.

The Label Industry Global Awards was founded in 2004 to celebrate innovations and excellence. Sponsored this year by Flint Group, the Award for Innovation rewards a specific innovation, introduced during 2013, by a supplier or converter company in the label industry.
On Sept. 9, as part of Labelexpo Americas 2014, the awards ceremony took place at the main ballroom of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, USA.

Gidue won with the edition of their Digital Flexo Excellence Project. Digital Flexo Excellence is a system of technologies developed to make the workflow, set-up and run of a flexographic press “digital” and fully automated. Digital Flexo Excellence presses are designed to deliver high productivity, costs reduction, flexibility and consistent quality. According to Gidue, with faster changeover times, higher press up-time, and minimum waste, it projects flexography into a new era in the label and packaging industry, challenging digital printing on quality, efficiency and profitability in short runs. 

Federico d’Annunzio, Gidue president, comments on winning the award: “We are proud that Gidue team work has been recognized with this Innovation Award. Since the year 2000, Gidue technologies introduced many concepts and innovations, which today have become the standard for our industry.

We want to deeply thank all our customers in the world, that have supported Gidue with continuous trust and confidence by investing in our new technologies; and our suppliers and distributors for their tight partnership and constant commitment.”
