within their countries and communities. By doing so, more printing companies will be encouraged to join their national associations, expanding our network and creating a virtuous cycle: the more companies that come together, the greater the infl uence, and the more attractive the community becomes for others to join. To achieve this, we’ll need the continued support of our valued
industry suppliers, who have always been committed partners in building a stronger, healthier, and more connected printing industry.
Can you explain what FESPA Future is and how this will help the speciality print community? FESPA’s vision is: ‘To be the leading globally connected imaging community, sharing knowledge and driving inspiration for the speciality print industry’. This vision is more alive than ever and fully aligned with our future goals. We aim to bring more national associations into the FESPA network, expanding our global community and increasing our presence in every corner of the world. The more united the printing community becomes, the more
we can achieve – together. Only through collaboration can we infl uence policies, advance techniques, and even contribute to the well-being of society. We all share a desire for a better, more sustainable planet, and by working as one, we can help develop standards and technologies that support this goal. FESPA is not just about business, it’s about connection. By engaging with colleagues who share our values and interests, we uplift each other and strengthen the spirit of our industry. That’s why FESPA members are often considered part of a family. We are also committed to bringing the latest technologies closer to printers by organising the leading exhibition for speciality print and signage. These events give printers access to the most innovative suppliers and cutting-edge solutions from
around the world. And with FESPA exhibitions held annually in multiple regions, there is always a show near you.
What skills and advice have you picked up over time that have stuck with you? That’s a diffi cult question. There are so many valuable lessons, but I’ll share a few related to my experience with FESPA. First, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to
support others selfl essly. When you help those around you without expecting anything in return, you create a positive environment and good things tend to come back to you. In terms of skills, having the opportunity to connect with
experts and pioneers in various printing techniques through FESPA has signifi cantly improved the quality of my work. It’s also given me a strong network of professionals I can turn to when troubleshooting technical challenges. The training sessions and conferences offered at FESPA
events worldwide, along with the technical guides available in the FESPA archives, have been invaluable resources and are accessible to all FESPA members and key to ongoing professional growth.
What is it that you enjoy most about working in the print industry?
The print industry is a transversal industry, meaning we provide essential services to virtually every other sector. We help communicate messages and ideas that touch on all aspects of daily life. This wide-reaching impact allows us to work across diverse industries, making every project different. Whether it’s a single print or a run of 100,000, each job is unique. This differentiation helps us, as printers, avoid routine and monotony – making what we do not just valuable, but truly extraordinary.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS I’VE LEARNED IS TO SUPPORT OTHERS SELFLESSLY. WHEN YOU HELP THOSE AROUND YOU WITHOUT
EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN, YOU CREATE A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT AND GOOD THINGS TEND
