Harper supports flexo education in Canada

Global anilox roll supplier Harper Corporation of America is sponsoring the first annual Canadian Flexographic Training Committee (CFTC) Scholarship Golf Tournament, as it looks to provide further support to the flexo industry’s educational initiatives.

The first annual CFTC Scholarship Golf Tournament will be held on September 23 at the Nobleton Lakes Golf Club, Ontario and replaces the existing Roll Label Gold Tournament as CFTC continues to shift its focus to the provision of scholarships in order to attract new professionals to the flexo industry

The golf tournament will be held on September 23 at the Nobleton Lakes Golf Club, Ontario and replaces the existing Roll Label Golf Tournament as CFTC continues to shift its focus to the provision of scholarships in order to attract new professionals to the flexo industry.

The Canadian Printing Industries Association Scholarship Trust Fund currently offers US$1,250 each year to the student who receives the financial aid. The goal is to increase the number of scholarships that are available to students through this organization in order to assist them in earning the high-quality education they need to thrive in the flexographic field.

The ultimate aim of the change in name, time and purpose of the golf tournament is that it will help draw new supporters and enhance the amount of money that is available to students through the scholarship program.

Lee Kluttz, vice president of operations at Harper Corporation, said: ‘We have long supported education, and have done a great deal to assist students in getting the flexographic knowledge and experience that they need to kick start a successful career.

‘We are looking forward to building upon our efforts with this regard via the CFTC Scholarship Golf Tournament, which we believe will serve as an important fundraiser for the industry's educational needs.’
