OMET Welcomes Students To Demo Center In late October, OMET Americas, Inc. opened the doors to its demonstration facility in Elk Grove Vil- lage, Illinois, to Department of Technology students from Illinois State University, for its first annual Print- ing Technology and Innovation Days. Claudio Semenza, Sales Director at OMET Americas, Inc. welcomed the students, to what he called,“a fan- tastic opportunity to share in the evolution impact- ing the global printing and packaging industries by providing hands-on, experiential learning [one on one] with industry experts.” The day included live demonstrations, a lunch ‘n’ learn and a breakout panel with industry experts. “Everyone can take part in ensuring students have access to opportunities to gain a firsthand understand- ing of the industry and network with market leaders, as well as exposure to the technologies and skills em- ployees use in the flexographic field,”Semenza said. The Printing Technology Innovation Days—a Future of Flexo Initiative—is an intensive effort founded by OMET Americas, Inc. and a consortium of flexograph- ic printers and suppliers to increase the growth of the flexo industry’s future workforce and technology.
