Siegwerk to Innovate Benzene-Free Ink to Asian Market

Siegwerk will demonstrate innovative solutions for printing inks without toluene to the Asian market. The Group is the second largest company in the field of flexible packaging printing inks in Europe and North America, and has a large production base in Asia and Thailand.

“In the next three years, the Asian market will be an important development area for us,” said Herbert Forker, chairman of the manager’s conference: “Asian consumers’ demand for high-quality packaging is increasing. For this reason, we will provide appropriate Ink, specifically to meet the Asian market demand for packaging printing.

At present, the Siegwerk Group will first supply its Asian market from its production base in Bangkok. In the meantime, the company is discussing the idea of ​​establishing a production base in China.

In Europe, food packaging has long been prohibited from printing with toluene-containing inks. It can be expected that this development trend advocated by the brand-name manufacturers will also enter the Asian market. A few months ago, a famous Swiss food production company used packaging of toluene-free ink printing products in Asia. Experts are sure that more market participants will follow this model this year.
