Post-Show Insights: ICE Europe 2025

A Defining Moment for Nicely Machinery in Munich

ICE Europe 2025, the premier exhibition for coating and converting technologies, has once again proven to be a pivotal gathering for industry professionals worldwide. As the only Taiwanese machine manufacturer at the show, Nicely Machinery stood out among global leaders, presenting cutting-edge solutions for specialty tape applications in high-end industries. 

Recognized for Innovation – ICE Awards 2025 Winner

A total of 24 companies from around the world submitted 32 innovative solutions. Nicely stood out and won the Innovation Technology Award, making it the only winner from Asia and the first-ever Asian company to receive this prestigious recognition.

A highlight of this year’s event was our recognition at the ICE Awards 2025, honoring our advancements in innovative technology. This distinction underscores our ongoing commitment to enhancing efficiency, precision, and automation in the slitting and rewinding industry.

Avon Liu Marketing Manager Nicely Machinery

“ Nicely Machinery, a slitter and rewinder manufacturer based in Taiwan. I'm truly honored to receive this award. I often ask myself, what are our niche products? The answer is none. Instead, our strength lies in our ability to customize every machine to meet the unique needs of our customers. Take our slitter with spool winder model EG-9000 for example, which can slit films as narrow as 0.8 millimeters while maintaining stable tension control. Our flexibility, innovation and reliable customer service define our niche—and this is the niche we are proud of. ”
