Post-Event Insight from Labelexpo Europe 2025: Beyond Price, What Manufacturing Truly Deserves

Post-Event Insight from Labelexpo Europe 2025: Beyond Price, What Manufacturing Truly Deserves

At the recently concluded Labelexpo Europe 2025, one thing became clear again: the market is highly sensitive to price. When customers approached our booth, the most common question was:
“Why can others offer the same equipment at a lower price?”
We hear this question all the time. But the question we really want to raise is:
“How much are you willing to invest in the unseen strength of manufacturing and technical service?”

The Hidden Value of Manufacturing

Competition in slitter rewinders should not be measured by price alone. Behind every machine lies years of accumulated expertise in design, manufacturing, electrical controls, and tension management, along with long-term dedication to maintenance, upgrades, and customized solutions. These invisible values are the foundation of stable production and reliable quality.
When price becomes the only benchmark, it’s not just the suppliers who suffer, the entire industry’s healthy structure is at risk.

A Shared Commitment Across the Industry

At Labelexpo, we also realized that Nicely is not alone in this thinking. Many peers and partners share the same conviction: manufacturing must be respected, and the true essence of equipment must be recognized. Together, we are standing firm, using quality and reliable service to resist a market that rewards only low prices.

Nicely Machinery’s Commitment: Three Focus Areas for 2026

To ensure that “value” is more than just a slogan, Nicely Machinery (based in Taiwan) will continue to focus on three strategic directions in 2026:

1. Maintenance & Service – Making equipment reliability a visible, tangible value for our customers.
2. Retrofit & Upgrade – Helping customers extend machine life and reduce investment risks.
3. Modular Design – Providing standardized yet flexible solutions for more transparent and efficient investments.

Labelexpo Europe 2025 reinforced our belief:

Short-term price wars may dominate, but manufacturing excellence and service value are what truly sustain this industry.

We invite customers and industry peers to reflect on this together—because only with shared commitment can manufacturing remain strong, reliable, and future-ready.
