BRUSSELS, Belgium—FTA Europe announced the winners of the 2021 Diamond Awards April 22 through an online event with 583 people registered from 41 countries.
The Roaring 1920s theme was a very special way to celebrate the fantastic print products and flexographic printers. The show was hosted by Anne De Baetzelier and FTA Europe Vice President Wim Buyle. They brought jokes, music and even a cocktail-making session to entertain the audience.

FTA Europe judged more than 180 samples to find the best of the best—therefore, all nominees deserve a huge congratulations.
The Best in Show award went to DS Smith Savoie for its product ¼ box Frucci, entered by French member ATF. A special mention goes to its prepress company Chemence Graphics.
Thank you to those finalists who joined FTA Europe live and could receive congratulations directly.
FTA Europe would also like to express a huge thank you to its Diamond Sponsor Uteco; Gold Sponsors Absolute, Bobst, Camis, I&C Gama, Koenig & Bauer, Lohmann, Miraclon, Sinapse, Vetaphone and Windmoller & Holscher; and Silver Sponsors Allstein GmbH, Comexi, DigitalFlexo, Inci-Flex, Paper Converting Machine Co, Siegwerk, SOMA, tesa tape and Z DUE.
These generous sponsors made this fantastic event happen, and FTA Europe appreciates their support of the virtual event format.
Whilst the event was taking place, the flexographic community was once again united on the special Diamond Awards networking platform. After a challenging year with the ongoing crisis, it was finally time to celebrate and meet with colleagues. Although this can never replace connecting in person, FTA Europe was honored to play host to the flexographic industry in the only way possible due to the ongoing global situation.
FTA Europe President Sante Conselvan commented: “Connecting companies at European level and promoting the industry is the reason for FTA Europe’s existence. Thank you to the finalists, attendees, and sponsors for being so enthusiastic and for being part of this historic third edition of the Diamond Awards.”
