My message to the industry is that the development of graphic technologies is a continual process. A process that requires the shared knowledge and expertise of our industry as well as other sectors of the economy. We live in an expanding world of hybrid technologies in which ISO and Emirates standards bring stability and understanding. They underpin a more efficient and productive manufacturing environment and provide the foundation for the industry’s long-term viability and sustainability through the promotion of high quality, low-cost, energy-efficient production processes that are vital in a globally competitive world where lean-manufacturing and quality assurance are vital components.
