BRUSSELS, BELGIUM—Label converters, manufacturers, as well as equipment and material suppliers, can load up on the latest technology and label trends next month in Belgium. Both Labelexpo Europe 2003 and AWA's Self-Adhesive Label Release Liner Conference are set in the historic and beautiful city of Brussels, so label and narrow web industry professionals can get more bang for their buck in late September.
Education for Turbulent Times
According to AWA, its one-day Self-Adhesive Label Release Liner Conference is an important event for all associated with the release liner and self-adhesive label market (suppliers, users, producers). It's been organized as a result of requests from the market for a focused event on the label market, adds sponsor, organizer, and international consulting firm AWA.
"Although future prospects for release liners continue to be encouraging," reports AWA, "the market has experienced turbulent times recently, with a slowdown in growth and a dramatic increase in margin pressures across the value chain, not to mention consolidation at the laminator level of the chain. Base material suppliers and silicone coaters are redefining their value propositions as a consequence of additional pressure on margins and difficulties in passing on price increases across the value chain."
AWA continues, "In the current trading environment, there are concerns about longer-term opportunities due to increased competition. The changing profile of the players in the market, and the globalization that is occurring, will have a profound impact. Despite the challenges that exist, opportunities and scope for innovation continue to drive the market forward," says the firm.
"[This AWA conference] pulls together experts in their respective disciplines and addresses the key issue and opportunities for self-adhesive labeling across the value chain. It offers an exciting and comprehensive program, complemented by a networking opportunity for delegates and speakers."
