McGowans Print chief to speak at EFI Connect 2018

Mal McGowan, CEO of Dublin-based McGowans Print, is to speak at EFI user conference Connect 2018 in Las Vegas, 23-26 January, as one of the first users of EFI's singlepass LED inkjet corrugated board digital press, the Nozomi C18000. He will take part in a fireside chat keynote, moderated by CEO Guy Gecht, as will other Nozomi C18000 early adopter Eric Bacourt, CEO of Spain-based Hinojosa Packaging Solutions.

"Corrugated packaging and display markets are primed for re-invention with new digital production technologies, and these two industry leaders will explain the tremendous opportunities this type of transformation creates," said EFI CEO Guy Gecht. "We are delighted to have our first two Nozomi press users speak as part of a strong lineup of industry thought leaders and world-class experts at EFI Connect 2018." McGowans Print took the world's second Nozomi press, which operates alongside more than 25 digital presses. It is using the Nozomi to meet demand for corrugated display work as well as to develop new business producing high-end, full-colour corrugated packaging.
