At the last 7th L9 meet in Beijing, China, it was decided that LMAI India will host the next meet. LMAI has made elaborate plans. It is now scheduled to be a 4-day prestigious global meet that will include multiple events and agendas including Label Exchange Program, L9 board meeting, industry visits, Labelexpo visit, networking and leisure activities. The event will also cover a wide range of subjects within the label industry including sourcing and consumption of raw material, future demands, quality parameters, new machinery, innovative technologies and global trends.
Founded in 2009, Global Label Associations Group-‘L9’ is aimed at communicating regional issues and developments to the global industry, identifying and jointly examining issues of transnational concern to industry members, sharing information, developing and recommending best industry practices regarding efficiency, training, technology, safety and environmental matters, recognizing Industry achievements and pursuing such other programs and activities to promote and better the industry worldwide.
Sandeep Zaveri, ex-president LMAI said, “We are very excited to welcome the L9 participants to India.” Acknowledging support of his LMAI colleagues Vivek Kapur, Amit Sheth, Ajay Mehta, Harveer Sahni, President Kuldip Goel, Rajesh Nema, Ramesh Deshpande and Dinesh Mahajan in organizing this important event, he added, “It is an opportunity for all our label printer friends to meet international label printing leaders and hear them on various ascents like recycling sustainability.”
Since the last Labelexpo India in 2016 saw over 8000 visitors, the expectation from this year is very high.
