Editorial by Stefano Lavorini. Interview with Bernd Jablonowski… Freely expressed considerations on the role, on the strategies in the international field and on the future of specialised fairs.

Editorial by Stefano Lavorini.  What on earth makes me do it? This is the question that many, if not all, set themselves in an attempt to attribute sense to their own life experience.

The world of packaging continues, happily, to provide me with some wonderful surprises.

Now you may tell him your reasons / As he seems to me a just and wise man*

Editorial by Stefano Lavorini.
I look on. No pleasure in recognizing myself as different. None of that dangerous arrogance, that comes from that idea of feeling oneself  in someway a cut above the rest, only because one is capable of glibly observing a comedy, of which we are capable of intuiting both plot and purpose.

I have a picture of many prey to obscure neurosis, living in a state of anxious insecurity. How can we not understand them?

Outside soldiers, heavily armed police, bodyguards, Carabinieri trucks and armour-plated cars; inside, representatives of the national and regional government, pharmaceutical industry managers, press, guests of honour from the institutions and the world of manufacture, some famous names standing by, women and men of the organization busying themselves, everyone decked out elegantly and composed.…

... having something of the marvellous, the true, the plausible and the sublime. Never before have I taken part in a scientific congress so rich and varied in its contents, as well as in terms of focussed participants.

… Or that is, the changing world of packaging

News and - to paraphrase Expo - brain food from the 30th Giflex Autumn Congress, which hasn’t slowed down and makes a strong case for its commitment to thinking about food and reducing waste. International guests in Milan were treated to a relaxed and impartial dialog from which packaging - and not just of the flexible variety - emerged strengthened in its role as an indispensable tool in the…

“In the wake of the huge success enjoyed by the last edition of IPACK-IMA, that took place last May, and with the change of hands of the share package of the company Ipack-Ima SpA, ceded by Centrexpo SpA to Fiera Milano SpA, Guido Corbella’s mandate as CEO draws to a close…”.
Thus ran the communiqué that, July 16 2015, officialised what was already known by many. A few days before the event, we…

Doing the rounds, one hears a lot of fine talk, but the actual deeds done have been few. Not only in politics. It’s not always like that, obviously.
I am witness to the fact that, in the world of packaging, women and men still act who “do not follow or succumb to the wind, but they create it”, rather, to use the words of Pope Francesco, people who, in their job, do not renounce on wondering…

Let’s try once again to experience wonder, to dwell in the spaces of the unusual, the exceptional, despite the fact that in our globalized and interconnected world, where everything  is consumed in a flash and immediately forgotten, building a “time” for dreams, hopes, feelings no longer seems truly possible.

This might constitute the challenge of Expo Milano that – over and…

… to enable action as a strategic network in favor of the processing and packaging technology producing concerns and, more in general, for the business community on both sides of the Atlantic. This the sense of the partnership agreement between PMMI and Ipack Ima SpA, committed in particular to reinforcing their prospects on new markets.  Luciana Guidotti

Naples, 16 and 17 October. The proceedings of the 19th Giflex autumn congress dedicated to “The future of flexible packaging… Economy, end of lifecycle, distribution” are well summed up in the words with which President Michele Guala lucidly closed the two days in Naples….

“I am not that type of firm”… One might say paraphrasing the title of Lena Dunham’s latest novel. In other word, I am no longer only attention to the organization of the production, the safety of processes and the produce, the quality of the service, but I am also beautiful, colored (it just so happens), fizzy, out of the ordinary, and - if I were a man or a woman - with “ambitions as great as my…

As clear as water. Mineral water obviously, if the vision is that of a Sardinian entrepreneur who has placed the specificity and the culture of his local territory as the fulcrum of growth and success. Mauro Solinas views the state of the art of the sector and tells us about Acqua Smeraldina. By Stefano Lavorini

... and the consumers have the right to understand it.

[…] A life is empty of meaning unless filled with a risky and soaring commitment. Of course there’s only one such type of commitment, and that is work.
