Collaborating for Breakthrough Innovation in the Packaging Design-to-Print Supply Chain This session will offer a glimpse into the minds of brands and their key packaging development stake- holders as they strive to differentiate their products. In this interactive panel, key Procter & Gamble stake- holders, from R&D-to-launch, will share their experi- ence as they collaborated to develop and commercial- ize a breakthrough technology in performance and sustainability for e-commerce and brick-and-mortar packaging. Following a detailed analysis of market prospects, BST eltromat International has decided to close parts of its BST ProControl business unit. Deliveries of new measuring systems and system upgrades from BST ProControl will cease at the end of 2019.The Service department will remain in place.A team of seven peo- ple will continue to serve the existing customers of BST ProControl around the world.This includes after sales support, help desk, service technician visits to customers and the delivery of spare parts and radia- tion sources. New Strategy The new “perfecting your performance” strategy of the elexis Group, of which BST eltromat is the big- gest subsidiary, is focusing more systematically than ever on benefits to the customer. The partial closure of BST ProControl is a part of this strategy.The same applies to the acquisition of the majority stake in Ny- quist Systems GmbH, Landsberg am Lech, Germany, which was concluded by elexis AG in early 2019. The TubeScan family of Nyquist Systems reported- ly complement BST eltromat’s product range in the areas of 100 percent inspection and web monitoring in the narrow web market. Both the partial closure of BST ProControl and the majority stake in Nyquist Sys- tems represent a strengthening of the company’s core competencies, according to the manufacturer. BST eltromat founded BST ProControl GmbH as a 100 percent subsidiary through the acquisition of the companies betacontrol and Protagon in 2013. It was fully integrated into the processes of BST eltromat as an independent business unit in early 2017. BST Eltromat Restructures
