Invitation and programme
Welcome to Dresden!
The ERA Packaging and Decorative Gravure Conference 2014 will be held in
Dresden, capital of the Free State of Saxony, located in eastern Germany near
the Czech and Polish borders.
Manfred Janoschka,
ERA Vice President
The conference programme on Tuesday 4 November will highlight the latest
developments in packaging and decorative printing, not only in gravure,
and also the packaging buyers’ demands on the printing process for their
packaging, and the ongoing developments in on-press colour management for
packaging and decorative printing. On the Wednesday morning, there will be
a visit to Sächsische Walzen-Gravur (SWG), now part of the Janoschka Group, a
cylinder engraving company with among other equipment a Hell Cellaxy.
The Welcome Reception will be held in the conference hotel, the Hilton, which
is diagonally opposite the world-famous and fully restored Frauenkirche
(Church of Our Lady). And the Conference Dinner in the “Dresden
1900” will give a fascinating impression of life in Dresden at the
turn of the last century.
We look forward to meeting you in Dresden in November.
James Siever,
ERA Secretary General

SWG plant visit
Founded in 1890 as the “Walzengravieranstalt” in Frankenberg, near Chemnitz, SWG can look back on an eventful history. Since the re-privatization
of the company in 1991 (after state ownership in the GDR) by the family of the founder August Dippmann together with Janoschka, SWG has developed into a modern and versatile organisation, manufacturing and engraving gravure, flexo and screen printing formes, engraving embossing
cylinders, and making speciality products (eg gravure and micro sleeves). With over 20 years of expertise in laser engraving for printing and embossing formes and an exceptionally innovative approach, SWG is the Innovation Centre of Janoschka and a respected partner in several national and
international innovation projects, including 3D technology, direct laser engraving, novel galvanic processes for engravable surfaces and lightweight
cylinder systems. Sächsische Walzengravur GmbH, Badstraße 9, 09669 Frankenberg/Sa., tel. +49 37206 63-0
