Strategic partnerships Uteco is expanding its distribution and collaboration footprint with Currie Group and FlexCA, signaling growing channel opportunities in Europe and APAC. Leverage these partnerships to identify regional sales leads, co-marketing events, and bundled offering opportunities with related packaging players.

Expanded product ecosystem The company offers a broad range of flexographic and rotogravure printers, laminating machines, and high-tech configurations, along with digital technologies from SMARTJET and Vision systems. Position cross-sell of complementary equipment (coating, vision, bag making, slitting) to existing converters seeking end-to-end lines.

IoT and design awards Uteco’s IoT ecosystem and UX/UI design collaboration have earned recognition (iF Design Award). This indicates a focus on connected, user-friendly, and intelligent machines—opportunities to target customers seeking modern, efficient, data-driven packaging lines and aftersales digital services.

Innovation milestones Launches such as OnyxRace flexo CI press, SleeveBOT automation, and Sapphire EVO digital press demonstrate a pipeline of disruptive capability. Use these milestones to target brands pursuing state-of-the-art speed, automation, and reduced changeover times in flexible packaging.
