SOUTH AFRICA – Tarsus-owned Labelexpo Global Series is launching a new event in Cape Town to focus on the growing African label and package printing market.
Conference and table-top exhibition Label Summit Africa 2012 will take place on 19-20 March at the Westin Hotel in Cape Town, to accommodate the local needs of what organiser Labelexpo claims is consistently the fastest growing sector in the printing industry.
The growth of supermarkets, both local and international chains, is providing plenty of opportunities for the label and package printing industry in Africa, according to Labelexpo MD Roger Pellow.
“Label Summit Africa will give African printers the opportunity to learn about global advances in label technologies and meet with local and international suppliers to discuss the future of label printing in Africa,” he said.
The summit will help legislation aimed at improving standards, for example on environmental packaging.
The launch follows Tarsus’ recent result, which recorded strong performance in its Middle East and emerging market sectors.
