Background Info
The rapidly growing label industry in Latin America is fuelled by the increasing purchasing power of the middle class and represents exciting opportunities for label converters and suppliers. A recent survey in Latin America by Labels & Labeling and Conversion magazines revealed two very clear needs among label converters. Firstly, converters are looking for knowledge on the latest technologies and secondly they are interested in investing in the latest machinery and consumables. In fact, 100% of respondents said that they would be purchasing machinery in the next two years.
This is hardly surprising. Annual pressure sensitive material consumption in Latin America is growing at more than 3-4 times the rate in the United States and Europe. This presents a great opportunity for both label converters and suppliers in the region. To take advantage of this, they are visiting Label Summit Latin America, an ideal information sharing and networking venue for label converters, suppliers and end users.
