Digital press specialist Konica Minolta has outlined its plans for Labelexpo Europe 2022, set for late April as the industry continues its recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.

As a major exhibitor at Labelexpo Europe 2022, the company said its presence at the event will, ‘underpin Konica Minolta’s unwavering commitment to customers and growing importance within industrial printing markets.’

Konica Minolta will be sharing its stand with MGI Digital Technology, with both companies pooling their expertise to demonstrate how customers can develop ideas and increase profitability, as well as benefit from state-of-the-art software and service capabilities.

‘The label, packaging and embellishment markets are as vibrant as ever, and we are looking forward to meeting customers and other visitors in person again at Labelexpo Europe 2022,’ stated Jon Hiscock, head of production and industrial print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK). ‘Visitors to our stand can expect an immersive, interactive space that captures both the imagination of ambitious labellers to see the potential, plus the passion and excitement Konica Minolta has to achieve our vision together to rethink the possibilities in digital label production.’

He continued, ‘We want to continue pushing the boundaries. Labelexpo will provide another important platform to show how we continue to accelerate our digital transformation journey with customers in a partnership approach. Having entered the digital label market less than seven years ago, we see our partnership approach confirmed by the latest figures showing we have become the leading brand in Europe and have achieved a 33% market share in Q3 2021.’

Labelexpo Europe 2022 will see the flagship narrow web label and packager printing exhibition return after a near three-year hiatus, forced upon the event’s organising team by the global pandemic. The show takes place across 26-29 April, 2022 in Brussels, Belgium.

Lisa Milburn, managing director of Labelexpo Global Series, said, ‘This will be the first opportunity since the pandemic for our visitors to see Konica Minolta’s full range of digital printing and embellishment equipment first-hand, and to learn how the company’s equipment fits into the automated workflow of the Industry 4.0 age – a central theme of this year’s show.’
