We are thrilled to announce the final destination of our journey of international trade shows in 2019: PLMA Chicago!

The annual Car-Free Day is organised by the European Commission as part of the European Mobility Week, which takes place from 16 to 22 September each year. The campaign seeks to improve quality of life through promoting clean mobility and sustainable urban transport and gives people the chance to experiment with practical solutions to tackle urban challenges, such as air pollution. This year’s campaign put the spotlight on safe walking and cycling and the benefits it can have for our health and the environment.

A. Hatzopoulos S.A. has joined CEFLEX, the collaborative European consortium of companies and associations representing the entire flexible packaging value chain. This important initiative aims at further enhancing the performance of flexible packaging in the circular economy, through the collaboration of companies representing the full spectrum of the value chain: from materials producers to converters and printers, to brand owners, retailers, technology providers and recycling companies. As a company that is focused on improving packaging design and on innovating to make our plastic products more environmental-friendly and easier to recycle, we are looking forward to actively contributing to the CEFLEX goals, shaping the flexible packaging of the future.

A.Hatzopoulos S.A. considers Safety and Health at work to be of the utmost importance. Ensuring both, every day, is a fundamental right of our employees and all other company stakeholders. We are committed to fully implementing the relevant legislation and, far beyond that, the highest standards related to Health & Safety, in a manner that maximizes the prevention of incidents that may cause any injury, illness or large-scale accidents for our employees, in and out of the company, and all visitors to our premises.

This September, A.Hatzopoulos S.A. will be back in Nuremberg, Germany to participate again in this year's Fachpack expo. With 1,644 international exhibitors recorded in 2018, FachPack has become one of the leading packaging fairs in Europe. This show gathers over 45.000 visitors, coming to discover the latest trends and innovations in packaging technologies. The key theme of this year's Fachpack is "Environmentally friendly packaging" and one of the event's highlights will definately be the "Sustainability Awards", organized on the second day of the show.

On the 23rd of July 2018, one of the most tragic pages was written in the history of Greece. A deadly wildfire broke out in Eastern Attica, leaving behind it 102 human lives taken, thousands of acres of forest destroyed, and incalculable material damage. As a company that is driven by the value of Compassion, we were quickly motivated, in an effort to provide moral support to the local community and especially to young people whose lives were violently changed by this massive disaster.
