ABG reports strong sales at Loupe Americas 2026

A B Graphic International (ABG) has reported a highly successful Loupe Americas 2026, with strong visitor numbers, significant interest in its flexible packaging and RFID, and multiple machine sales completed during the show. 

Exhibiting some of the largest machinery line-up of any company at the event, ABG used its presence to demonstrate the breadth of its finishing and converting capabilities across labels, flexible packaging, RFID, embellishment and inspection. The stand's scale attracted consistently high visitor numbers, with particular attention on ABG’s growing FlexPack proposition and PouchJet, which lets converters add in-line embellishment to pouch production. 

RFID was another major area of interest, reflecting the technology’s growing importance in the label and packaging market. ABG demonstrated products ranging from the entry-level ti200 to a sophisticated non-stop converting line incorporating ASU and Vectra technology alongside Tamarack modules. Both generated significant enquiries and follow-up opportunities, demonstrating demand for scalable RFID technology that can support converters as their requirements develop. 

The show's commercial success was further demonstrated by several machine sales completed during Loupe, including a Vectra AutoSet, DigiLite, Wine Specification Digicon Series 3, and SR seaming machine. 

Matt Burton, ABG’s global sales director, said: ‘Loupe gave us the opportunity to show ABG at its best. We brought together an exceptional range of technology, backed by our global team and the expertise of our four manufacturing sites, and the response throughout the show was fantastic. FlexPack was a particular highlight, with PouchJet attracting a great deal of attention, while RFID was another standout area. Being able to demonstrate everything from an accessible entry-level solution through to a highly sophisticated non-stop converting line allowed customers to see the breadth of what ABG can offer.’ 

The event also highlighted the continued success of ABG’s North American operation, with its US-based team of around 45 people providing local sales and service support. Strong attendance from existing customers and new prospects underscored the importance of having that capability on the ground, while ABG’s partnerships with specialists including Tamarack, Voyantic and Galaxy PackTech further showcased how complementary technologies and engineering expertise can come together to deliver advanced, integrated technologies. 

Burton concluded: ‘Loupe showcased the strength of ABG as a global business, with our people, manufacturing sites and technology partners working together to deliver exceptional solutions for converters.’
