Fortis Solutions Group, a provider of high-impact printed packaging solutions with facilities across North America, and a portfolio company of Harvest Partners, is hosting its Fortis Solutions Summit in Merced, CA, USA, on October 17, 2024.

The day-long summit, which will be held at El Capitan Hotel at 609 W Main Street in Merced, will explore new packaging trends and include a tradeshow featuring insights on recent innovations, quality control, sustainability, and Fortis packaging products. It’s an excellent opportunity to learn, ask questions, and get solutions to your “what if” packaging challenges. There will be a plant tour of Fortis’ high-volume flexible packaging flexographic printing facility, where attendees can observe its label, shrink sleeve, and flexpack presses in action.

With opening remarks provided by Fortis leadership, the Summit will also include educational sessions led by Natalie Rainer, partner, and Avril Love, counsel, both of K&L Gates, who will discuss navigating the regulatory pitfalls of environmental claim substantiation and, for packaging of consumables, accurate nutritional labeling. They will address the newly enacted Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws, the FDA’s regulatory issues regarding food and color additives, and food-contact materials. Expert Carl Melville, founder of The Melville Group, an industrial marketing agency, will discuss the benefits of co-packers and co-manufacturers and provide the latest updates on the contract manufacturing and packaging industry.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming attendees to our upcoming Fortis Solutions Summit in Merced,” says Fortis CEO Carlos Tapias. “Our Summit is a valuable opportunity to share knowledge, innovations, and best practices for creating outstanding printed packaging solutions. Sustainability is a priority for many of our customers across industries, so we’re excited to lead the conversation with the ways we develop our packaging solutions towards sustainable goals that contribute to developing a regenerative, circular economy.”
