Xeikon Innovation Days 2026 returns this June in Belgium and the USA, debuting the brand’s new identity as Flint Group Digital Xeikon
Flint Group Digital Xeikon has confirmed the return of its Xeikon Innovation Days, scheduled for 9–10 June 2026 in Lier, Belgium, followed by a North American event on 16–18 June in Elgin, Illinois. Running under the theme “Print. Smarter. Together.”, the events are designed to showcase the company’s recent transformation into a core digital business unit within the rebranded Flint Group Packaging Solutions.
The transition follows a broader corporate rebranding at Flint Group, which now focuses on providing integrated, sustainable solutions across inks, coatings, and equipment for the packaging sector. Within this new structure, Flint Group Digital Xeikon is positioned to lead the group’s digital print technology and connected software ecosystems.
Walter Benz, President of Flint Group Digital Xeikon, said, “Xeikon Innovation Days 2026 is a statement of intent. We invite the market to experience how our business is evolving: more connected to packaging, more focused on customer outcomes, and more deeply integrated within Flint Group Packaging Solutions. We see this as a reboot with a sharper focus and a broader solutions story.”
The June events will feature live demonstrations of Xeikon’s digital press portfolio, including the new Ecolyne and IDERA presses. The programme will address several critical industry shifts, including the implementation of AI in workflows, sustainability in label production, and the role of connected solutions in modern packaging plants.
The events have attracted a significant list of industry partners, including Esko, CERM, Fedrigoni, and Hybrid Software, who will exhibit alongside Xeikon to demonstrate end-to-end production workflows.
Pepyn Dinandt, CEO of Flint Group Packaging Solutions, noted, “We are seeing a market evolution across substrates and coatings to enhance recyclability. As a platform supplier, we are committed to leading with innovation. Flint Group Digital Xeikon is an important part of that future, bringing digital capability and innovation power into our packaging solutions platform.”
For converters and brand owners, the Innovation Days provide a practical environment to evaluate new investments and engage directly with technical teams. The events serve to reaffirm Xeikon’s role as a digital innovator while introducing its expanded capabilities as part of a larger, packaging-focused global organisation.
Registration for the Lier event is now open via the Xeikon website, with the full programme designed to help businesses navigate the current transition towards more automated and sustainable packaging production.
