SOMA has been named the inaugural honouree of the FTA Supplier of the Year award by the Flexographic Technical Association (FTA).
SOMA was recognised for its ongoing leadership in developing technologies that elevate press efficiency, automation and print quality. Just as importantly, their work continues to bring people together – fostering strong partnerships across the flexo community and helping drive the industry forward.
Beyond innovation, SOMA has shown a genuine commitment to education, research and hands-on collaboration. Their active involvement in FTA initiatives and events – including contributions in automation, artificial intelligence and process optimisation – reflects a broader focus on sharing knowledge and supporting collective progress.
Their participation in the Flexo Xperience Center is another great example of this approach, creating opportunities for real-world learning and industry connection.
As Nathan Ridnouer, President of the FTA, put it: “What sets SOMA apart is their role in strengthening the entire flexographic ecosystem. They’re not just developing equipment – they’re actively enabling collaboration, education and shared progress across the industry.”
A well-deserved recognition for a partner who continues to make a meaningful impact.
