The agreement between it and the Shanghai Publishing and Printing College is a general cooperation agreement to promote education, consulting, research, development, technology service and career guidance in the Chinese printing and packaging industry.
 
Both partners will support the Chinese flexographic industry in the long-term by providing specific education to talented students and offering them possibilities for practical training in research and application.
 
Mario Busshoff, Flint Group Flexographic Products president, said: ‘The Chinese printing market is extremely vast and important, but flexography is still a minor part of this industry.
