LOUPE Americas 2026 once again proved to be one of North America’s leading events for the label, flexible packaging, and converting industries. Over the course of three exciting days in Chicago, the Kocher+Beck USA team welcomed a steady stream of visitors to Booth 3210 and enjoyed valuable discussions with customers, partners, suppliers, and industry experts from across the industry.

The exhibition provided an excellent opportunity to reconnect with long-standing partners, strengthen existing relationships, and establish many promising new contacts. Throughout the event, visitors showed strong interest in Kocher+Beck’s broad portfolio of precision-engineered solutions, including flexible dies, magnetic and printing cylinders, GapMaster EM adjustable anvil systems, TecScreen technology, and innovative converting solutions. These conversations generated valuable exchanges on current market developments, future challenges, and emerging opportunities within the converting industry.

A particular highlight of this year’s event was Kocher+Beck’s participation in the live demonstrations on the ROTOCON RFP Flexo Press. The tooling supplied by Kocher+Beck played a key role in showcasing the precision, reliability, and performance required in modern production environments. The demonstrations offered visitors the opportunity to see high-quality converting solutions in action and sparked numerous technical discussions throughout the exhibition.

In addition to presenting established technologies such as GapMaster®, the event also served as a platform to discuss future developments and innovation within the rotary die-cutting market. The strong level of engagement at the booth reinforced the industry’s continued focus on maximizing productivity, reducing downtime, and achieving greater process stability through advanced tooling solutions.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who visited our booth, shared ideas, and contributed to making LOUPE Americas 2026 such a successful and memorable event. We appreciate the trust of our customers and partners and look forward to continuing these conversations as we work together to shape the future of the converting industry.

We look forward to seeing you again at future industry events!
