I’m working with Jean-François and Nova Glue to help introduce an innovative adhesive solution to the print, packaging, and display industries. Nova Glue holds the rights to a machine designed to solve real production challenges across packaging, folding carton, and display manufacturing. Part of the reason I got involved is simple. Jean-François is a young entrepreneur building a business he believes in, and I’ve always believed that when you see someone with drive and determination, it’s worth helping them succeed. The other reason is the machine itself. From what I’ve seen so far, when print and packaging owners see the machine and answer a few basic production questions, the value and ROI become very clear. It addresses real production challenges that many manufacturers deal with every day and fills a gap in the market where there is very little direct competition. My involvement includes: • Providing strategic industry insight based on decades in print and packaging • Helping position the solution within the print, packaging, and display markets • Supporting business development and industry introductions • Bringing a real owner-to-owner perspective to conversations about production, efficiency, and workflow Having spent most of my career on the print owner side of the industry, many of these conversations naturally become practical discussions between owners about real production challenges and how to solve them. I back good people with good ideas that move the print and packaging industry forward.
