Labelstock manufacturers share their Labelexpo experience

According to Ajay Mehta of SMI Coated Products, despite its growth in exports, India has been the centre of the company’s focus and Labelexpo India was an opportunity to showcase its products, and offer commitment and gratitude to the Indian label industry.

“The four days at the show were very busy and extremely fruitful. Over the years, the show has progressively improved, and the quality of the large number of visitors is truly amazing. Our friends in the industry evinced keen interest in our ever-expanding range of products, as well as the new tools we introduced at the show,” said Mehta.

Mehta said the company’s new specification sheets, curved diametre indicator and brochures for the seven different types of industry are path-breaking tools to help the industry. “And, last but definitely not the least Labelexpo has truly made the show of an international standard. Hats off to them,” he said.

It was extremely busy four days for UPM Raflatac as well. “The atmosphere was great during the entire exhibition and it was a good place to meet industry partners and other stakeholders under one roof and to see where the business is moving,” said Pravin Varshney of UPM Raflatac.

Varshney said the company is seeing overall healthy organic growth in India and across South Asia due to a rapid increase in pre-packaged food products, pharma sector growth and the massive appetite for personal care products. “In addition, Indian companies are increasingly becoming aware of environmental issues and that’s why our Label Life concept was of interest to both label printers and end-users. We’re proud to work in India along the same principles of world-class technology, quality and performance, environmental sustainability and top class customer service as we do everywhere else,” he said.

Even for Avery Dennison, Labelexpo India had been very successful. “A large number of customers visited our booth and were keen to learn about our offerings in durable, home and personal care and pharma segments,” said Jitesh Mehta of Avery Dennison.

Mehta said the 14 innovations the company showcased this time earned the spotlight at the exhibition. “Labelexpo gives us a platform to demonstrate to customers how we can help them grow,” he concluded.
