Harper Launches Its First 2026 Roadshow Stop in Charlotte with Strong Industry Turnout

Harper Corporation of America successfully hosted the first Harper Roadshow of 2026 on January 21 at the Harper Campus at Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) and at Harper’s headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. Branded as “Precision in Motion: The Clean Print Experience,” the one-day educational program brought together approximately 50 flexographic industry leaders—customers, suppliers, and partners—for technical learning, live discussion, and meaningful peer-to-peer networking.

The event opened with welcoming remarks from Lee Harper, President of Harper Corporation of America, followed by an in-depth facility experience and tour led by Harper at the company’s main Charlotte operations. Attendees then took part in technical sessions focused on clean-print performance, workflow efficiency, and practical, pressroom-ready takeaways designed to help teams reduce downtime and drive consistency on press.

A key highlight of the day was the strong partner presence that helped elevate both the educational value and the hands-on technical discussions. Harper recognized BW Converting as a crucial ally in showcasing the latest converting and workflow solutions. Additional contributing partners—including MicroDynamics and Wikoff Color Corporation—brought specialized insight and real-world perspective on topics that support the continued advancement of the flexographic printing industry.

The program ran from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with participants and presenters continuing conversations throughout the day—reinforcing the importance of community, collaboration, and shared expertise in a fast-moving, highly technical market.

Harper Roadshow is a free, one-day seminar series designed to deliver expert-led education, live demonstrations, and interactive discussion tailored to the needs of today’s flexographic pressrooms.

Harper also welcomed the participation of Nathan Ridnouer, President of the Flexographic Technical Association (FTA), underscoring the event’s industry-wide relevance and shared commitment to technical excellence and continued learning.
