BOBST and its leading technology partners brought together key players from Algeria’s flexible packaging, label production and converting sectors for BOBST & Leading Partners Roadshow 2026 — Algeria, held on September 29 in Sétif.

This is creating strong opportunities for innovation across both flexible packaging and labels," said Manuel Cortizo, Region Sales & Marketing Director, BOBST Africa, Middle East and Turkey.
The event also underlined the growing importance of digitalization, automation, and connectivity in helping packaging producers optimize their processes, reduce waste, and improve operational efficiency.
A complete view of the packaging value chain
The one-day program covered a broad range of technologies, from film production, sustainable materials and digital prepress to flexographic and gravure printing. Other topics of discussion included laminating, coating and vacuum metallizing, label production, workflow automation and connectivity.
