After a two -year pandemy -related interruption, the traditional FEPE annual conference was fortunately held again for the second time in a row. More than 100 participants from all over Europe and overseas met from September 14th to 17th in Rome to discuss market trends and global technological and economic developments.

In addition to the main topics of "sustainability" and "e-commerce", the increasing importance of print mailings as part of Cross Channel Marketing was also the focus of the discussions. While the envelope volume for the shipping of documents and invoices has been continuously decreased since several years, the FEPE members are developing and selling more and more e-commerce packaging and related products. The "Mailing Envelopes" segment is also becoming increasingly important for the industry, especially because the added value is significantly higher for these products than for classic inserting envelopes.

In addition to numerous lectures and technical discussions, the conference well organized by the new FEPE MD Viktor Kovacic, also offered the participants an interesting supporting program in the "Eternal City" and its surroundings. In addition, the former MD of GEA (Global Envelope Alliance) Meynard Benjamin and the former board member Bernard Kuhnast were honored for their services to the industry in a solemn ceremony

These days the industry worries because of the unchanged high raw material and energy price level as well as the low demand due to the weak economy. Despite the high raw material and energy costs, the envelope industry expects however in the coming months a largely stable price level.

The next FEPE Conference will take place in Hamburg in September 2024.
