For several years now, the printing and packaging sectors have increasingly overlapped, and I am pleased that we can continue to strengthen this interface. Visitors to Corrugated can also look beyond their own industry and explore cross-sector opportunities in printing, textiles, and personalization. I am confident that they will return home with broader future perspectives for the industry and their businesses.”
