The European PLACE committee is represented by members of the European flexible packaging and converting industry – converters, OEMs, raw material suppliers and academia.
We are committed to organize the PLACE conference again in a biennial rhythm. The event empowers industry experts to meet beyond company boundaries and address a variety of current technical topics with both practical as well as scientific approaches – more efficiently, together.
The New Committee
- Was founded on June 19, 2023 in the “devil’s cellar” (Teufelskeller) of Bürgerspital in Würzburg, Germany.
- Main purpose of the European PLACE Committee is to organize the biennial technical PLACE conference, (re)starting in 2025.
- After a moratorium issued by TAPPI (Technical Association for the Pulp & Paper Industry Inc.) we found our new home in the bdvi.org organization.
bdvi is our new neutral umbrella to host the next conference for the flexible packaging and converting industry to get together and discuss the latest innovations and developments. - We believe in the conference as communication platform and industry get together because the topics we address and the solutions we discuss there cannot be found by an internet search in such clarity, detail and efficiency.
- To show your commitment, you may contribute to our work with a committee sponsorship.
