FGS wins six prestigious ATEF awards

FGS won the awards at the ATEF (Technical Association of Flexography) Gala Awards ceremony in Barcelona, Spain this, as innovators in flexo came together to recognize ‘Best in Class’ print and packaging. 

The six awards covered multiple categories, including First Prize and ‘Best in Show’ for flexible packaging and film. FGS scooped this award with Florbu’s Wafer Mix, printed by Graficas Llinars. Other winning brands included FRIT Ravich, Agua de Cuevas and Carrefour.

Joan Rodriguez, technical director of FGS, said: ‘Once we started evaluating the Bellissima DMS technology and seeing the results on press, we knew we were working with something really special and today Bellissima has been recognized as a true superstar in the flexo industry. We are looking forward to introducing more brands to Bellissima to realize the same outstanding results.’

According to Belissima, FGS’s adoption of its technology has proven to be a game changer for the flexographic printing market in Spain, with more brands and printers moving away from gravure to flexo using Bellissima’s screening technology. Brands are recognizing it as a powerful upgrade to connect with consumers on shelf and differentiate in a competitive market. 

Pierre Hammond, Hamillroad’s commercial director, added: ‘Our partnership with FGS goes from strength-to-strength and I congratulate it on its well-deserved success, together with thanking its customers for believing in the use of our Bellissima DMS pre-press software to help deliver superior print results. The combination of FGS and Bellissima DMS is unrivalled in the Spanish flexography market.’
