Apex International has announced its global participation and sponsorship of the 4th Annual Women of Flexo Conference. The event will take place March 17–18 at the Watt Family Innovation Center at Clemson University in South Carolina. This year’s theme, “Unwind & Rewind,” brings together women from across the flexographic community to strengthen technical expertise, leadership skills, and industry connections.

“For Apex, supporting Women of Flexo is directly connected to how we think about long-term industry performance,” states Ruud van Cuijk, CEO of Apex International. “Developing technical and leadership capability across the industry strengthens execution, application expertise, and ultimately the results our customers achieve.”

Colleagues from the US, the Netherlands, Italy, and Brazil will also represent Apex International at the event. The attendance reflects the company’s international commitment to empowering women and fostering professional growth across regions and cultures.

Plus, as part of the conference program, Apex’s Farrah Nuzzo will speak on the Unwinding Expectations Panel. The session is titled, “Letting Go of ‘Perfect’ to Make Room for Progress.” The conversation will center on balancing expectations and navigating leadership. “Our industry is full of incredibly talented women who are moving flexo forward every day,” says Nuzzo.

Apex is also taking part in the event with:

  • Global Attendance: Representatives from four Apex regions will take part in technical sessions, workshops, and networking.

It offers sessions focused on flexo technology, operations, AI and automation, leadership, and personal development. Additionally, all topics are aligned with helping women excel and advance within the industry.
