Asahi hosts AWP Days 2025 showcasing Revo Ecosystem

Asahi Photoproducts has hosted AWP Days 2025 in Japan, bringing together executives from leading printing and packaging companies to experience the AWP-Revo Ecosystem and strengthen relationships within the global flexographic community.

The event, held at Asahi Kasei's Fuji Plant and Tokyo headquarters, provided an exclusive platform for participants to exchange market insights and witness the company's latest advancements in sustainable flexographic printing.

The live demonstration of the AWP-Revo Ecosystem highlighted Asahi's detergent-free, water-based platemaking process. Visitors observed the complete system, including the AWP-Revo plate, AWP-Revo-2530AA Plate Processor and AWP-Loop Petite water recycling unit.

Print samples produced with AWP-Revo plates demonstrated registration accuracy, high solid densities and reduced downtime through Asahi's CleanPrint technology.

'It was a great pleasure to welcome our valued partners and customers from across the world to Japan,' noted Aki Kato, senior general manager of Asahi Kasei Photoproducts Division. 'Seeing them experience the AWP-REVO Ecosystem in action and discuss how it supports their sustainability and productivity goals was truly inspiring. Their feedback confirmed that we are on the right path toward a Solvent ZERO future, combining innovation, collaboration and environmental responsibility.'

The four-day program combined technical sessions, partner visits and networking activities. The event began with an opening seminar and guided tour at the Fuji Plant, followed by visits to partner facilities, including Yoshimoto Printing, where participants experienced the technology in a production environment.

The agenda featured informal networking experiences including a Zen meditation session, a winery visit and a Mount Fuji tour. The event concluded with a wrap-up session and farewell dinner at Asahi's Tokyo headquarters.
