ESMA
ESMA has been active in the industrial printing sector since 1990 and has evolved from a European association for printing manufacturers in screen and digital printing into an organization representing industrial, functional, and specialty printing. Over the years, ESMA has developed the Knowledge Hub concept, which today provides cross-technology expertise to nearly 70 European manufacturer members and technology partners. Every ESMA member enjoys favorable conditions at major trade fairs and ESMA’s own conferences. Additional benefits include access to technical seminars and committee meetings. Partners and members receive support and promotion regarding health, safety, and environmental regulations and participate in setting industry standards.
