FINAT launches Radar

The report will include an overview on the evolution of markets and market segments, employment, profit and loss, purchasing and investment. Other chapters in the report will cover parallel surveys on material supplier trends, equipment supplier trends, end-user trends and emerging market trends.

Customers in a variety of market segments are to be interviewed for the 20-page market survey, to be prepared by market research agency LPC.

The results of the first report will be introduced at the upcoming annual FINAT Congress, running June 5-7 in Monaco.

FINAT president Kurt Walker said: ‘One of the assets of FINAT is its ability to generate representative first hand market data and information about the European self-adhesive labels and related narrow web markets directly from its members. With the FINAT Radar, we are now taking this asset to the next level.’

‘It has always been FINAT’s mission to provide a sound and solid knowledge basis on which the whole industry can depend,’ added Jules Lejeune, managing director of FINAT. ‘The FINAT Radar is one of the newly developed initiatives as part of FINAT’s strategy plan for the coming years. One of the many benefits of being a FINAT member and that will help leverage the industry's combined interests.’
