Apex International Acquires Keller Dorian, Panhuizen Apex International has acquired Keller Dorian, Jonage, France, and Panhuizen, Helmond, Nether- lands. With this new acquisition, Apex can reported- ly now offer embossing customers an improved la- ser system, providing designs with greater form and clarity. Apex International is now able to also offer an end-to-end service to customers who previously would have had to work with several suppliers to car- ry out the necessary various embossing techniques. Having identified the global demand for Keller Dorian and Panhuizen’s products, Apex has invest- ed over $20 million in the past 18 months in em- bossing technology. Both Keller Dorian and Panhuizen will now fall under the Apex Embossing name. WPO Guide Now Available In Arabic, Spanish, Czech The World Packaging Organization has confirmed that the Global Packaging Design for Recycling Guide has been translated into three additional lan- guages to help even more packaging technologists to design out waste at the start. “In order to be able to apply recyclable packag- ing design, a certain fundamental knowledge of sorting and recycling processes is necessary,” said Nerida Kelton, Vice President Sustainability & Save Food, WPO. “Packaging must, therefore, be suitable for state-of-the-art sorting and recycling processes in addition to its basic functions, such as storage, transport, product protection, product presentation and convenience.” ‘Translating the ‘Global Packaging Design for Re- cycling Guide’ into Arabic was extremely important to ensure that we take steady steps based on sci- entific foundations to achieve a circular economy. This will contribute to addressing challenges that face the world in terms of climate change, the envi- ronment and the preservation of natural resources”, stated Ayman Sbeih, Chairman of PFPPI and coor- dinator of the Arabic translation. “The Spanish version, together with a wide range of initiatives that IAE and CENEM already undertake, will undoubtedly contribute to stimulating discus- sion, awareness and education in the circular econ- omy, the environment and sustainability,” said Silvio Colombo, Argentine Packaging Institute (IAE). The new translations are available for free to download on the WPO website https://www. worldpackaging.org/wpo/45/ .
