Eli Grinberg · CEO · Scodix · FESPA Barcelona 2026
At FESPA 2026 in Barcelona, Editor-in-Chief Morten Reitoft speaks with Eli Grinberg from Scodix about the company’s first-ever appearance at FESPA Global Print Expo 2026 and the launch of its new Ultra 7000 SHD with patented Direct-to-Board technology.
The conversation explores how Scodix is bringing digital embellishment directly to corrugated boards and rigid materials, enabling packaging producers and display manufacturers to create premium visual effects without traditional stamping, laminating, or tooling.
From luxury packaging and POS displays to food compliance, recyclability, and cost efficiency, the discussion highlights why digital embellishment is becoming an increasingly attractive opportunity for packaging converters looking to differentiate themselves in competitive retail environments.
A fascinating conversation about innovation, packaging value, and why Scodix believes embellishment is becoming one of the strongest tools for creating attention on the shelf.
Hunkeler Innovationdays · Scodix · Franz Repp
Scodix is probably the first company in the world that introduced digital-embellishment on a big scale, and today the company has more than 400 installations globally. Franz Repp was recently appointed President of Scodix EMEA and is not responsible for pushing even more machines to the market. In this INKISH interview, Repp talks about the added value, the business opportunities, and why digital embellishment makes sense when producing in offset. At Innovationdays, the newest 6000 edition with many new options will be shown - and it's great - we saw it at PRINTING United, but this is a Europe-wide premiere!

Ikuya Atsuchi · Executive Officer · Mutoh Â...
At FESPA in Barcelona, Editor-in-Chief Morten Reitoft speaks with Ikuya Atsuchi from Mutoh about product development, Japanese engineering culture, and the company’s future together with Brother Industries. As part of Mutoh’s product planning team in Tokyo, Ikuya Atsuchi works closely with R&D, manufacturing, dealers, and market demands to help shape the next generation of products. The conversation explores how the recent acquisition by Brother was initially a surprise, but is now seen internally as an exciting opportunity where the strengths of both companies complement each other extremely well. The discussion also touches on Japanese long-term thinking, product quality, reliability, service networks, and the constant challenge of developing successful products in an increasingly competitive market. A warm and honest conversation about engineering culture, product philosophy, and why Mutoh believes the partnership with Brother creates opportunities far greater than either company could achieve alone.
