Foundation of FTA Explores Flexo’s Global Gateway

MONTREAL, Canada—More than 1,700 flexographers, hailing from 17 different countries, recently converged upon the Palais de congrès in Montréal, QC, Canada for Foundation of Flexographic Technical Association’s (FFTA) 2007 Annual Forum & INFO*FLEX Exhibition. Over the course of four days—May 6-9—they networked on the sold-out INFO*FLEX show floor, conducted business with 183 exhibitors, attended as many of the 10 technical sessions as possible, built new contacts and strengthened those already existing. One thing was certain—flexographic printing, as the Forum theme denoted, is “Crossing Borders,” and Forum 2007 was the global gateway to success. The event was chaired by David Nunez, Great Lakes Packaging. Dan Dietrich, Schawk, Inc., served as vice chair.
