Receiving a total of thirteen honours Smurfit Kappa had a successful night at the 2013 European Flexographic Industry Association Awards.

The awards includied three gold, three silver, five bronze and two highly commended. The success is the latest in a long line of acknowledgement by the principal figures within the EFIA of Smurfit Kappa as the leading producers of paper based packaging. 

The number of awards was the highest for any individual entrant, beating participants from as far afield as Canada and a very strong level of UK submissions.

The Awards were presented at a Gala Dinner held at the Reebok Stadium, Bolton, UK on March 21 and recognised the best of Flexographic print across the world during 2012. 

Tony Smurfit, Group COO said: ‘Consistency is the key to Smurfit Kappa’s continued success, and we are pleased that year on year we are able to build on our achievements. As a global manufacturer of packaging it is important that we share our practical knowledge and expertise across the whole of our organisation rather than creating small pockets of concentrated knowledge for use within domestic markets.’
