Stefan Hunkeler about Hunkeler Innovationdays

The COVID pandemic is for sure still not over, and the number of cancellations and postponements of events is still something we have to live with. Hunkeler Innovationdays, one of the most beloved events, has already been postponed a couple of times. Though many had hoped for the event to occur in February 2022, Hunkeler President Stefan Hunkeler gave the sad message about moving the event to 2023 a few weeks ago. INKISH went to Switzerland to talk to Stefan Hunkeler but focused more on what to expect in 2023.

Our colleagues from WhatTheyThink did also talk to Stefan Hunkeler – see the interview made by David Zwang at the following link:

At Canon's Power to Move event in Venlo, Morten Reitoft speaks with Hans Gut, one of the most respected figures in the finishing and postpress industry. With decades of experience helping shape the evolution of print production, Gut shares his perspective on the industry's transformation and the increasingly important relationship between printing, workflow, automation, and finishing. As production environments become more digital and more connected, the role of finishing has evolved from a downstream process into a critical component of the overall manufacturing workflow. The conversation explores how companies such as Hunkeler and Müller Martini continue to adapt to changing market demands, shorter run lengths, greater personalization, and the need for ever-higher levels of automation. Gut discusses why integration between printing and finishing is becoming essential for achieving productivity, quality, and profitability in modern print operations. The interview also touches on industry consolidation, technological innovation, and the opportunities created by digital printing technologies that continue to expand into new applications and markets. Throughout the discussion, Gut offers valuable insights gained from a lifetime spent helping customers improve production efficiency and build sustainable businesses. As always, Hans Gut combines strategic vision with practical experience, making this a fascinating conversation about where the industry has come from—and where it may be heading next.
