Contiweb will join the Future Book Forum on 12–13 November at the Canon Customer Experience Center near Munich, Germany. The event brings together publishers, printers, and technology partners to explore how innovation is reshaping book manufacturing.
Representing Contiweb, Rob Bosman and Mattheüs van Seumeren will share practical insights on non-stop unwinding, non-stop rewinding, and remoistening — demonstrating how continuous paper reel handling boosts throughput and OEE, frees operators to focus on higher-value tasks, and, with precise remoistening, delivers a flatter, more stable web that runs smoothly through downstream finishing.
Automation as the Foundation for Future Book Production
As book manufacturing shifts toward shorter runs and faster turnarounds — and as skilled labor grows scarcer — automation has become a decisive success factor. Contiweb’s solutions for continuous reel handling and precise moisture control cut manual touches, reduce downtime and waste, and stabilize quality — core advantages for building book operations that are both profitable and future-ready.
At the Future Book Forum, Contiweb’s team will discuss how non-stop reel-change systems and remoistening solutions enable book manufacturers worldwide to:
• Boost uptime and overall equipment efficiency (OEE)
• Increase operator flexibility, freeing time for higher-value tasks
• Reduce paper waste and improve splice reliability
• Enhance product quality for trouble-free finishing
Faster, More Efficient, and More Profitable Book Manufacturing
The Future Book Forum is a unique meeting ground for the leaders shaping tomorrow’s publishing landscape. For Contiweb, participating underscores a long-term commitment to collaboration — with Canon, finishing equipment manufacturers, and book printers.
“The Future Book Forum brings together people who share one goal: making book production faster, more efficient, and more profitable,” says Rob Bosman, Sales Director at Contiweb. “That vision aligns perfectly with Contiweb’s DNA as a partner in automation and process innovation. We look forward to the conversations — sharing ideas with publishers, printers, and technology partners about what’s next in book manufacturing.”
