Held in the Hilton Hotel Athens in June, the Congress
programme encompassed presentations; the FINAT General
Assembly; a well-supported industry tabletop exhibition; the
FINAT Label Awards presentation and winners exhibition; and
extensive networking and social activities. On the first day, the
agenda ‘teed off ’ with the annual FINAT/Nilpeter golf
tournament followed by evening cocktails and dinner in the
hotel.
The next day, formal proceedings were opened by FINAT
President Kurt Walker, tesa Bandfix, who invited delegates to
take advantage of the occasion, to ‘engage in dialogue with
peers in the industry, and be inspired by industry leaders’.
Panos Cabas, representing one of the longest-serving FINAT
member companies from Greece, also set the context for the
speakers who were to come. He reminded participants that
‘the mind is like a parachute – it works best when it is open!’.

SUSTAINABLE LABELLING:
NOW IS YOUR CHANCE
Whatever your role in the self-adhesive labels value chain – end user, converter, pressroom equipment manufac-
turer, consumables or raw materials supplier – there is a contribution to be made to the sustainability agenda.
The FINAT 2012 Congress certainly proved that.
