International Sustainable Packaging Symposium 2024 in Cartagena, Colombia
End of November 2024, we held our Sustainable Packaging Symposium in the city of Cartagena de Indias. This event featured presentations on the latest trends and sustainable and efficient technologies for the Flexible Packaging and paper industry.
Attendees had the opportunity to learn from industry leaders, network with peers and explore innovative solutions from all manufacturers. We had the participation of industry leaders such as Dupont, ExxonMobil, Esko, Rossini, Nordmeccanica, Kampf Atlas, Kuraray, Harper, Tesa, B&B, QTecInks, among others and we also had presentations from leading customers in the market such as Plastilene, Alico and FCO Group, where they shared how their role in the circular economy and creating sustainable packaging is being executed.
"We managed to bring together 130 people, from 30 companies, from 9 countries. This gives us a pleasant sense of confidence from the industry in the invitations made by W&H. The meetings that were held in detail with each client were of great value and it was not only my feeling, but it was also comments from other exhibitors," said Willi Muller, W&H Managing Director of Latin America.
We were able to count on the presence of our CSO, Dr. Sascha Witt, who denoted the commitment that Windmoller & Holscher has with the region, with customers and with companies in the industry.
During these days, not only presentations were made, we also had space to talk with customers and learn in detail about their concerns and requirements to comply with the regulations of each country in the framework of sustainability. We also had meetings of new projects and new customers to start 2025.
“I want to thank and acknowledge the excellent contribution in the team's recent efforts during the Symposium. Windmoller & Holscher thrives on the cooperation of our employees in working together for our success, and as such, efforts to foster teamwork have not gone unnoticed,” said Willi Muller.
