Asahi Photoproducts, a developer of flexographic photopolymer plate technology and a subsidiary of Asahi Kasei, is inviting narrow web and wide web flexo printers to an exclusive open house event from April 9-10, 2025, at its European headquarters in Brussels. Taking place just before the “Shaping the Future with Packaging” Conference by FTA Europe and Intergraf – where Asahi Photoproducts serves as a Gold Sponsor – this event offers an opportunity to gain industry insights and network with key players in packaging and label printing.

This exclusive open house is tailored specifically for printers, narrow and wide web converters, including decision-makers and production experts with in-depth insights into the latest innovations in sustainable flexographic printing. A key focus will be Asahi’s SolventZero Eco-System, featuring AWP CleanPrint water-washable plates and AFP-R solvent saving plate technology, designed to enhance efficiency and environmental performance in flexographic printing.

Further presentations from industry experts will be given from partner companies such as Esko, Gallus, Apex, Heidelberg Web Carton Converting, Lohmann, Comexi, and Chespa.

Masaki Matsumoto, managing director of Asahi Photoproducts Belgium, shares, “At Asahi, we are committed to driving sustainable innovation in flexographic printing. This Open House is an excellent opportunity to catch up with current trends in flexographic packaging printing, exchange knowledge, and connect with industry peers. Our Solvent ZERO initiative reflects our dedication to a cleaner and more efficient flexographic industry.”

Participation in the open house is free of charge but requires confirmation by Asahi via email.
