Businesses from across the UK flexo industry will discuss how technological advances can help overcome the challenges they and their customers face when they come together in November for the Apex LIVE UK Technical Summit.

Bringing together big-hitters from the wide web, corrugated and labels markets, the technical seminar will be packed with panel discussions, focused case studies, and application-specific sessions featuring the sector’s leading experts, guiding attendees through a deep dive into the future of the UK flexo industry.

“In an era where the print and packaging sector is as changeable as the British weather, our event will shine a spotlight on the unique hurdles currently affecting the industry, as well as those looming on the horizon,” says Mandy Aarssée, European marketing manager with Apex International (Apex), the leading manufacturer of anilox, metering and embossing rolls in the world. “Importantly, the event will not only be about discussing problems, but focused on delivering solutions that can make a real difference to a business’s performance.

“Working with our cross-sector partners, we have put together a comprehensive programme specifically designed to address the issues today’s businesses face and to help elevate their position in the industry,” adds Aarssée. “Attendees will gain invaluable insight from a combination of real-life experiences, research, and key decision factors, all of which will help grow their business.”

The Apex LIVE UK Technical Summit will be held on Thursday, November 16, at Birmingham’s Edgbaston Stadium.

“Attending Apex LIVE will enable those working in the UK flexo industry to discover new ways to navigate the complexities of the market and understand the importance of their business in the larger ecosystem,” says Aarssée. “In just one day, they will accumulate a wealth of knowledge that ordinarily takes months to gather, highlighting how their business can become a crucial conduit for innovation and progress in the industry.”

The event has been organised by Apex International with the co-operation of partners including Clean Solutions Group, Contact Originators, Esko, Mitsubishi, MPS Systems, Pulse Roll Label Products, and Windmöller & Hölscher.

“Apex LIVE is an immersive learning experience,” Aarssée says. “The day will equip attendees with practical strategies and thoughtful plans, using state-of-the-art tools and exciting real-world examples to enhance knowledge and print quality for the UK flexo sector.”
