After being postponed because of the pandemic, the world’s digital paper processing elite will once again gather at the Lucerne Exhibition Center in Switzerland for the Hunkeler Innovation Days, an important print industry event, from 27 February to 2 March 2023.
In its fourteenth edition, this internationally important industry meeting stands for many innovations and further developments in digital printing and finishing.
The Hunkeler Innovation Days have always been distinguished by an interdisciplinary concept. In a comparatively small space, all renowned manufacturers in the industry meet owners, managing directors, management, and experts. This makes this international industry meeting unique worldwide. Visitors gain insight into versatile scenarios with high practical relevance.
The last outing of the normally biennial Hunkeler Innovation days, held in 2019, attracted around 6,500 visitors from over 100 countries and hosted 100 exhibitors. The 2022 edition was postponed because of the pandemic.
Hunkeler is a family-owned Switzerland-headquartered company since 1922 and a market leader in digital production print finishing. It has more than 100 years of experience in the paper processing industry and over 40 years of digital print finishing experience.
