The event will showcase the latest innovations from Nilpeter’s FA- Line series and feature presentations from GEW, ACTE- GA, Multi-Plastics, and Karlville. As a headline keynote speaker, Kevin Kollman, President of Prime Packaging, will share his insights and market perspective, bringing real-world experience to the program. Building on the company’s ambition to create more tailored and educational customer experiences, Nilpeter will host a number of events in the US during 2026. These will take place at Nilpeter’s Technology Center in Cincinnati, Ohii, where multiple presses are installed for live demonstrations, application development, and cus- tomer collaboration. He stressed that: • Labels must meet criteria for non-toxicity, recyclability, and traceability; • Brand owners will demand data on carbon, water, and material impact; and • Decoration needs may shift dramatically as second- ary packaging is limited, affecting label surface area and visibility. Label businesses must prepare for an environment where compliance, sustainability, and innovation con- verge. This means rethinking not just materials, but busi- ness models, partnerships, and value propositions. According to FINAT, the new regulatory landscape is not a hurdle, but a roadmap to resilience and relevance. Nilpeter To Host Flexible Packaging Open House In Cincinnati
