Gulf Print & Pack 2025 takes place for the first time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at Riyadh Front Exhibition Conference Center from 14 – 16 January 2025. Kazim Mankani, Regional Business Manager of Konica Minolta Middle East, told PrintWeek: "GPP 2025 in Saudi Arabia presents an incredible opportunity to engage directly with one of the fastest-growing markets in the region. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative has accelerated investments in infrastructure, technology, and sustainable solutions, creating a fertile ground for innovations in the printing and packaging industries. This event allows us to showcase our cutting-edge technologies and connect with key stakeholders, helping us contribute to the transformation of this dynamic market. We are meticulously planning our participation to ensure a strong impact at the debut edition of GPP in Saudi Arabia. Our preparations include live demonstrations of our latest printing solutions, interactive sessions to highlight their applications, and partnerships with local distributors to address specific market needs. Additionally, we are curating a team of experts to engage with visitors, providing personalized insights and consultations.
"The prospects for GPP in Saudi Arabia are promising, as the Kingdom is emerging as a regional hub for advanced industries, including print and packaging. With the rising demand for sustainable and high-quality print solutions driven by economic diversification and rapid urbanization, GPP is set to play a pivotal role in connecting global technology providers with local businesses seeking innovative solutions. The previous GPP editions in the UAE provided us with a platform to connect with a diverse audience, including decision-makers from various sectors. These events allowed us to introduce groundbreaking products, forge new partnerships, and strengthen existing ones. The insights gained from customer interactions and industry trends at these editions have been instrumental in refining our offerings for the Saudi market.
"Our strategy for growth in Saudi Arabia is built on three pillars: innovation, localization, and customer-centricity. We aim to introduce advanced printing solutions tailored to meet local demands, invest in training programs for partners to ensure seamless implementation, and build a robust support network to enhance customer satisfaction. Furthermore, we are collaborating with stakeholders across the value chain to align with Saudi Arabia’s focus on sustainable development."
He adds, "We are excited to unveil the latest advancements in our digital printing portfolio at GPP 2025, including the Konica Minolta KM1e and models from our AccurioPress series. These solutions are designed to deliver unmatched quality, speed, and versatility, catering to the diverse needs of the Saudi market. Additionally, we are proud to highlight our embellishment printing solutions, powered by MGI technology, which enable businesses to offer stunning, high-value print finishes. With features like spot UV, 3D varnish, and foil embellishments, our MGI products are ideal for industries looking to elevate their packaging and marketing materials, adding a competitive edge in the market. We are also introducing innovations in label printing and packaging solutions, by introducing and showcasing our new arrival of AL-400 supporting businesses striving for efficiency, precision, and sustainability."
