BOBST celebrates the success of 'Turkish Days' Open House event: Showcasing end-to-end solutions for Turkish cartonboard converters

BOBST is pleased to announce the resounding success of its 'Turkish Days' event held at the BOBST Packaging Center in Mex, Switzerland. Held on October 5, the event welcomed distinguished delegates from KASAD (the Cardboard Packaging Manufacturers Association Turkey) and demonstrated BOBST's commitment to industry vision deployment, focusing on end-to-end solutions, innovative equipment, and novel packaging solutions.

The 'Turkish Days' event hosted 32 prominent companies from across the Turkish packaging market, including the General Secretary of KASAD. The event provided a platform for in-depth discussions on common packaging pain points, knowledge-sharing among industry leaders and fostering valuable connections.

BOBST showcased its dedication to enhancing production flow efficiency across the entire product portfolio and demonstrated its deep understanding of market trends, customer needs, and future industry dynamics which underscores its leadership in the converting world.

The event featured comprehensive hands-on demonstrations of BOBST solutions for cartonboard converters, including the multi award-winning Digital Inspection Table (DIT), NOVAFOIL 106 hot foil stamper, MASTERCUT 106 PER Autoplaten® die-cutter and VISIONFOLD 110 folder-gluer machines. The technologies demonstrated a full PDF-to-production workflow, showing the power and efficiency of a connected production line with live samples.

A further highlight of the event was the introduction of BOBST Connect, a ground-breaking digital and connected production flow solution. BOBST Connect seamlessly links the entire packaging production line, enabling real-time data transmission across the value chain. By directly connecting die-cutting tools to machines within a centralized hub, BOBST Connect streamlines recipe management, performance monitoring, and equipment maintenance. Combined with enhanced automation, this innovation significantly improves production efficiency, precision, and ergonomics, setting the stage for the future of carton production environments.

Marco Lideo, Head of Product Line Die-cutters, Stampers, Flexo and Litho-laminators at BOBST, commented: “We are delighted to welcome KASAD members to our Packaging Center. Among many fantastic innovations on show from the BOBST folding carton range, we were particularly excited to demonstrate BOBST Connect. This is our all-in-one digital platform, which is emerging as a key enabler of enhanced packaging productivity. Ideal for today’s digitalized and automation-friendly workflows, the platform brings data and digital services together. What this brings to packaging converters is better machine insights, process management, and production data, ultimately empowering manufacturers with better planning, decision-making, and optimization capabilities.”
