Stakeholders to Boost Africa's Print Packaging Industry

Stakeholders in Africa's print packaging industry are preparing for the FlexoEdge 2026 conference, which aims to explore strategies for long-term growth through investment and innovation. The conference, themed "Invest Smart, Flexo Secure Long-term Value," will feature Kunle Ogunjobi, Technical Director of Randomsoft Limited, who will discuss practical implementations to enhance business value.

The African print packaging sector is entering a significant growth phase, driven by the manufacturing of food, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and consumer goods that require efficient, high-quality, and sustainable packaging solutions. Ogunjobi emphasized the need for stronger partnerships among manufacturers, converters, technology suppliers, investors, and policymakers to address rising product costs and accelerate innovation.
