SPA 108th Conference welcomes Jean-Pascal Bobst as Keynote Speaker

Jean-Pascal Bobst, CEO of BOBST, recently delivered the Keynote Presentation at the SPA 108th Conference.  He presented the company’s industry vision and outlined insights into the future of the corrugated packaging industry.

The SPA is known for promoting the interests of the corrugated sheet plant sector, so Conference provided an excellent platform for Jean-Pascal to articulate the evolving landscape of the corrugated industry, highlighting global trends such as e-commerce, digital printing, mixed products, and rising demand for automation.

During his keynote address, Jean-Pascal emphasised BOBST's commitment to innovation and moving the packaging industry forward in line with the four pillars of digitalisation, automation, connectivity, and sustainability as drivers of the industry transformation. He highlighted BOBST’s dedication to harnessing technology to enhance its solutions and services, as well as its ongoing efforts to reduce its environmental footprint through sustainable practices.

Reflecting on the event, Jean-Pascal commented: "It was a privilege to share BOBST's industry vision and innovations with the attendees of the SPA Conference. As a global leader in packaging technology, we have made significant strides in driving corrugated industry progress, and events such as these are a fantastic opportunity to showcase this.”

During the presentation, Jean-Pascal also unveiled BOBST's robotics capabilities, a new addition to its technology lineup. The business shared the latest updates to its flexo folder-gluer solutions, including the addition of BOBST VISIONFFG and NOVAFFG, two in-line converting solutions for simple and large sized box production, and BOBST JUMBO, a new large format flexo folder-gluer for the production of large high-strength boxes, including stitching and taping.
