ePS’ Connect 2024 kicked off with an opening address by CEO Gabby Matsliach. Held at The Venetian hotel, Las Vegas, Mr Matsliach welcomed delegates to the three-day event with an engaging speech on the company’s plans for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025.
Recognising the blend of attendees, split between print and packaging specialists, he spoke about transformation being key to continuing to be successful within the industry. Also addressing the question of when to invest as a business, it was Mr Matsliach’s opinion that when the market slows in ferocity is the key time, allowing businesses time to stand back and fully assess what is really needed before making an informed decision, something ePS can assist all of their partners with.
Looking ahead, ePS are seeing market growth on the commercial print side of the industry, through mergers and consolidations. This, they say, is allowing diversification, for those businesses involved, delivering a greater market share and standing.
Of course, AI formed a part of the introduction to the event, however ePS’ CEO left it to the many breakout demonstrations to let delegates know in more detail how it will form part of the company’s roadmap for the next couple of years.
In closing Mr Matsliach let the audience know that ePS is investing heavily across their portfolio, Nubium, launched in drupa 2024, being one such example. Sustainability is also a key performance indicator, with updates of their software packages to include sustainability reporting with it.
