At the meeting in Athens, Roberto stated to look forward to contributing his expertise to the further development of Finat as the leading European trade organisation for the labels sector: “The amount of change and opportunities ahead make this an exciting time to join the board of Finat. Being part of the industry as a label material manufacturer and end-user, I am humbled to serve all members to continue driving our mission. As treasurer, count on my dedication with high standards of financial transparency as we accelerate both our collaboration and the sustainable growth of the label sector.”

Finat president Philippe Voet thanked Martinez’ predecessor Noël for his engagement as FINAT Treasurer in the previous years, which coincided with a period of post-Covid changes in Finat’s organisation and funding structure.
