From Jeff Karnoff - Sales & Marketing Associate

Drupa 2024 was an incredible experience from start to finish. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed partners at FUJIFILM and TECNAU for hosting us in their booth. The enthusiasm and engagement at both booths were truly remarkable. At the FUJIFILM booth, there was a constant stream of visitors eager to learn about the Jet Press 750HS and the Kompac Phoenix 20. These integrated machines offer a seamless solution that print and packaging companies will find immensely valuable.

Equally impressive was the experience at the Tecnau booth, where their sales representatives took the time to engage with us and understand the capabilities of Kompac. 

One of the highlights for me was witnessing the audience's reaction to our technology. When customers asked about the cleanup process, our response was simple yet impactful: “Cleanup takes no more than 2 minutes, and switching from UV to AQ coatings is done in just 10 minutes.” The simplicity of our Phoenix flood coater was another standout feature. Even as a salesman, I found it easy to operate and maintain.

Another rewarding aspect of Drupa was introducing Kompac to those unfamiliar with our brand beyond dampeners, as well as changing perceptions among those who knew us solely for that. Visitors appreciated the openness and visibility of our coaters, designed without covers or cabinets that might obscure the process. This design allows for easy monitoring of paper as it moves through the machine, with coating buckets placed conveniently outside for accessibility.

Drupa 2024 was not only personally enriching but also a testament to the vibrancy of the print industry, showcasing numerous innovations. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all who visited our booths, engaged with us, and showed interest in Kompac. While I'm sad the event has concluded, it has only fueled my excitement for Drupa 2028.
