Italian laminator manufacturer Nord Meccanica and the world's largest adhesive manufacturer Henkel are targeting China.

The two companies met on Nord's stand to rekindle a longstanding relationship. Henkel's outgoing president Ulrich Lehner, who remans on the Henkel board but is taking up a role as head of the supervisory board at Deutsche Telekom, was there.

Nord's Antonio Cerciello said: "It is an honour to welcome Mr Lehner today. We welcomed him at Drupa in 2004 and it is an honour to have him back. We are looking to expand further into Asia."
