IPG met at Drupa from June 6th to 7th. We witnessed the latest technologies and updates from our associate members such as Heidelberg, Bobst, Koenig & Bauer, ESKO, and HP Indigo. IPG had a chance to experience it all on a private tour at their booths.

IPG continued its journey to Tampere, Finland, for the Technical Meeting 2024 from June 8th to 12th, hosted by Pyroll. IPG visited Pyroll plants in Tampere. 

Pyroll Packaging Pyroll Pakkaukset provides customers with comprehensive customer service—from the design and manufacturing of packaging to the selection of packaging machines. They also provide all services concerning packaging, regardless of the material, making them a leading manufacturer in the Finnish packaging industry. They produce cardboard, paper, plastic, and aluminum packaging, with an annual output of 1.5 billion packages across their eight factories in Finland.
