Inaugural Display Conference

On the 26th/27th November we held our very first Display Network conference hosted by our French colleagues in Salins Les Bains close to our Marnoz Display site.

Our 3D Corrugated Display business is €150m sales p.a. and all 18 plants from Germany, France, UK, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Italy and Benelux are now connected in our European Display Network so we can sell truly pan European to our major FMCG clients through a single channel.

The Display Network conference was attended by two senior representatives from each country served by the network.

The title of the conference was "leveraging our network to grow" and the idea was for everyone to learn about each business we have, its customers, its technology, local threats and opportunities and focus on our key European target customers.

We also had a "design a world cup display" competition which was closely fought with Poland just beating the UK to first prize, all designs were then shared.

We also had presentations from colleagues from the IC and our heavy duty division.

The event was the first opportunity for our team to get together and share information and to really start working together to grow our Display business as a joined up network.

Such was the success of the event another one will be held in 6 months and a list of actions and targets have been drawn up to be progressed at that next meeting.
