Quarterly report 1 – 2023

Audion represented at Interpack

From 4 to 10 May, Audion will be represented by a large team at the Interpack trade show (booth H11D44). We’re going all out with some great innovations. We see that the big international trade shows in particular are really buzzing again, so we have decided to go all out at Interpack. For me, along with PackExpo in Chicago, Interpack is the top international trade show for packaging. But of course there are other trade shows, too – for example, in late 2022 I was at the All4Pack in Paris. You notice an increasingly local character at these events. I am really looking forward to welcoming and speaking to everyone again, clients and prospects alike.

Expanding our dealer network at Interpack

Besides meeting customers and interested parties, we are still looking to expand our dealer network. We already have a fairly global presence with our dealer network, but we see that these dealers are often organized around one or more strategic target markets. For example, we may be represented in one country by a very good dealer who organizes its business around E-commerce (E-fulfilment) and Industries. In the same geographic market, we would like to supplement our dealer network with a dealer that will focus on our other strategic target markets, such as Food or Life Science.

Are you interested in becoming part of our dealer network? If so, Interpack is the perfect opportunity to get to know us and our products.

Innovations at Interpack

We will be presenting a number of innovations at Interpack, in addition to our extensive programme. For example, a brand new Audion thermal transfer printer and organic paper packaging for the Speedpack. These innovations are of particular interest for E-commerce and Industries (Parts). Naturally, we will also be demonstrating other innovations, around the continuous and power sealers. Connectivity and validation are key to the power sealers. At Audion, we are increasingly organized around our strategic target markets, which is also how we will be presenting ourselves at Interpack. We will tell you much more about this over the coming months, ahead of the trade show.

Digitalization live at Interpack

We are still hard at work building our new website and webshop. The expectation is that we will be able to go live around the time of Interpack. From then on, we will sell our products that do not require extensive customization through the webshop – for example, hand sealers, table sealers and the simpler continuous and power sealers. The webshop will initially go live in the countries where we have our own presence, i.e. the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. We expect to roll it out to other countries in phases, first in the EU and later globally.
