Mark Subers · PRINTING United
PRINTING United had its first show in 2019 and planned a physical show in Atlanta in 2020. Due to the pandemic, PRINTING United soon realized that it had to either cancel, postpone or change. In this session, we hear more about the considerations, the outlook, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic directly by President Mark Subers – and most likely, we will also hear about the upcoming PRINTING United 2021 show.

Gabriel Petrea · CEO · Imprimeria Arta Gr...
At Intergraf Print Matters in Budapest, Morten Reitoft speaks with Gabriel Petrea following a panel discussion focused on sustainability, CO₂ reduction, and the practical realities facing the printing industry. The conversation explores how sustainability has evolved from a niche concern into a core business issue for printers, suppliers, and brand owners alike. Drawing on insights from the panel discussion, Gabriel reflects on the challenges of balancing environmental ambitions with commercial realities, highlighting the need for solutions that are both sustainable and economically viable. Morten and Gabriel discuss the role of legislation, customer expectations, and market forces in driving environmental initiatives throughout the print value chain. While regulatory requirements continue to influence decision-making, the discussion also emphasizes the growing recognition that sustainability is increasingly becoming an essential part of running a competitive and efficient business. The interview examines topics such as packaging, waste reduction, resource efficiency, recycling, and the broader environmental impact of print products. Particular attention is given to the importance of understanding sustainability holistically, recognizing that environmental performance often requires balancing multiple factors rather than pursuing simple, one-dimensional solutions. The discussion also touches on the role of suppliers, manufacturers, printers, and industry organizations in helping the sector adapt to changing expectations. Collaboration across the value chain is presented as a critical element for achieving meaningful environmental progress while maintaining the industry's commercial strength. A thoughtful conversation about sustainability, environmental responsibility, legislation, and the opportunities available to printers as they navigate an increasingly complex business and regulatory landscape.
