Johan VerstraeteOnce again, we can look back on a very successful ITMA trade fair. In fact, it was one of the best ITMAs in our history – a true success both from an organisational and logistical perspective, as evidenced by the vast number of visitors to our booth from day one. The many fruitful contacts we had with customers and prospects from all around the world exceeded our expectations and will enable us to sow even more seeds for the future.
Alberto CandianiToday, technology is what we want to share with our customers and brands. Brands want good stories about tangible and sustainable innovations from cutting edge technology so they can tell their customers interesting facts about their products.
