Two antipodean label printing executives are readying to wave the flag for Australian labels later this year at the 2014 Young Leaders Global Congress in Michigan, sponsored by TMLI.

Young printers to represent LATMA in the US

TLMI’s Young Leaders Development Organization will host this event, which follows on from the success of the FINAT-hosted conference held in Germany in 2012. 

Perth based label printers, Supa Stik put forward the name of its young chief executive officer, Peter Holywell, and Sydney's AC Labels that of Jason Baker who were announced at the LATMA annual conference awards night. 

LATMA selected Holywell and Baker from a strong pool of applicants to travel to the event. Backed by the support of their companies, the two will hear global leaders discuss the latest industry trends and develop global network contacts.

Following the September 11-12 event, taking place at Michigan State University directly after the closing of Labelexpo Americas 2014, Holywell and Baker will head off on an Australian circuit to present their insights to LATMA members.

‘It’s a great chance to get real insights into different market pressures,’ said Holywell said. ‘I think in some ways the European and US markets are little more sophisticated maybe, and a few years ahead in experiencing tougher end-user pressures.’
