Following its second annual appearance, #SeikoOpenWeek is establishing itself as a fixed annual event in the industry.

Expanded this year with two additional workshop days, it was again more than well-received. Throughout the ranks, it could be heard that such a platform for the exchange of ideas and knowledge is exactly what is needed, and this is exactly what Seiko Instruments has committed itself to, both with the establishment of this event and with its laboratory and showroom available all year round for gatherings of all kinds.

In an industry where highly technical and complex coordination is necessary to offer customers the best possible solution for their individual application, it is extremely important to provide a space where the pros and cons of all parties can be discussed, without competition, and where things can simply be tried out.

And that is how Seiko wants to differentiate itself from others.

At the event, 13 different machines and countless samples from a wide range of applications were on display, from textile printing, wood, corrugated board and ceramics, decorative printing, printed electronics, the coding & marking branch and many more. The latest ink innovations such as matt varnish or security ink were demonstrated live in their application.

Partners from all sectors, such as ink manufacturers, suppliers of electronics and curing equipment, integrators as well as contacts of independent consultants of technical advice on all aspects of inkjet, were on site.

This year there were People & Technology, IdeeGO, Cadis, Bluhm Weber Group, Inkatronic, Topjet, Esmalglass-Itaca Group with Itaca Textile and Itaca Packaging, Kao Chimigraf, Siegwerk, Nazdar, Integration Technology, Lambda Technology, Meteor, TriJet, DoDxAct and many others.

Preparations for #SeikoOpenWeek2023 have already started. Once again, the basic concept of individually booked personal time slots will be retained. In addition, a wider range of high-quality technical workshops, geared towards new interesting topics, will also be offered next year.
