From March 11–13, 2025, the international converting industry will meet in Munich for the 14th edition of ICE Europe, the world’s leading marketplace to source bespoke converting solutions for flexible and web-based materials. With nearly 90% of booth space now sold, visitors can expect an impressive line-up of top manufacturers and suppliers from Europe and around the globe, presenting hundreds of break-through exhibits and live machines to a dedicated audience of industry professionals. A top-tier event program will see the return of the renowned ICE Awards, as well as the launch of a new ICE Conference.

Meanwhile, Catapult Print has begun 2025 with a major investment in new machinery to enable the label specialist to continue scaling up after achieving a $60 million turnover in 2024.

Established six years ago, Catapult is focused on increasing capacity in 2025 as the company continues to target more of the accelerated year-on-year growth it has achieved since day one. The company’s $60 million 2024 turnover follows two consecutive months of record sales in Q4 and a year that saw Catapult onboard more than 80 new customers while maintaining a customer retention rate of 98%.

In a market that contracted by 20% during 2024, Catapult grew by 40% thanks to the company’s ability to deliver dramatically reduced lead times, unbeatable quality and reliability, and low pricing.
