Fairs & Events
LOUPE Americas 2026
Event overview
LOUPE Americas 2026 connected label-converting process control, adhesive formulation, curing infrastructure and machinery sales in Rosemont. The Paper’s evidence includes a pre-event AVT–Mark Andy alliance, Archroma’s planned high-solids adhesive introduction, GEW’s power-platform launch and ROTOCON USA’s subsequently reported show sales. The developments belong to the same edition but remain separate industrial actions.
What happened
AVT and Mark Andy integrate closed-loop register control for label converters
AVT and Mark Andy have formed a strategic alliance to integrate print inspection and closed-loop register control, debuting at LOUPE Americas 2026.
Archroma targets drying bottlenecks with ultra-high-solids adhesive at LOUPE Americas
Archroma Packaging Technologies will launch its Cartacol APS75 Ultra high-solids adhesive at LOUPE Americas 2026 to help converters cut drying energy.
GEW phases out RHINO infrastructure with new EOS power platform at LOUPE Americas
UK-based manufacturer GEW has introduced the EOS Power and Control Platform at LOUPE Americas 2026, replacing its legacy RHINO infrastructure with encrypted telemetry.
ROTOCON USA Sells 11 Machines at LOUPE Americas
ROTOCON USA sold 11 machines at LOUPE Americas 2026, bringing its total US installed sales to 20 and demonstrating strong market traction.

Connected developments
Inspection and register control, adhesive drying and curing power concern different bottlenecks in label production. Their presence in the same edition gives converters a connected view of process decisions without implying that the products form one integrated line. ROTOCON’s sales report adds a concrete commercial outcome, distinct from the supplier presentations.
Activity analysis
This edition’s significance lies in the combination of material and machinery decisions with a separately reported sales result. A high-solids formulation is positioned to reduce drying energy, but the available report does not quantify customer savings. Likewise, ROTOCON’s reported 11 show sales are not a measure of the entire event’s demand, and sales are not automatically treated as completed installations.
