About us

Acimga is the association of Italian manufacturers of machinery for the graphic, paper and converting industry: since 1947, it represents all printing, packaging, and converting technologies for all applications and for all types of materials.

Acimga plays a key role in the industry both in Italy and internationally creating a true industrial culture, both engaging and synergic, providing top-of-the-range globally recognised services.

Every year Acimga organizes Future Factory, the event that marks the evolution of the entire graphics and communication industry, creating a meeting opportunity for the whole community, from technology manufacturers, transformers/printers, to influencers, brand owners and agencies, as a natural prosecution of the path started in 2015 during Expo.

With Future Factory Acimga builds a dialogue throughout the supply chain in the converting, package printing, labelling, and commercial and industrial printing markets.

 

THE THEMES

The future at human service

In the current context of constant transformation, business models shift to a human-centric perspective, in which service is the main fundamental component in the sale of a product, which is always supplied in combination with a high customization level. This human centrality extends at all levels, spreading to throughout the production chain, from the means of production to the end consumer, who gains a service with added value. With ACIMGA THE FUTURE IS OURS. AND IT’S HUMAN.

And within this human future Acimga aims at showing the entire supply chain, through the voice and experience of important international speakers, the global guidelines that lead the concrete perspectives of human centrality.
