At its General Assembly held on the occasion of the European Label Forum 2024 in Athens, the FINAT members elected Roberto Martinez Porta of Avery Dennison, as board member. He succeeded his colleague Noël Kasmi who has meanwhile left the label industry and consequently had to step down from the board. Roberto also succeeds Noël in the role of treasurer and executive board member.
Roberto Martinez Porta is currently the vice president sales of labels and packaging materials as part of Avery Dennison’s Materials Group EMENA.
Before joining the company in 2011, he worked as global category leader secondary packaging at Heineken. At the meeting in Athens, Roberto started to look forward to contributing his expertise to the further development of FINAT as the leading European trade organisation for the labels sector, saying: ‘The amount of change and opportunities ahead make this an exciting time to join the board of FINAT. Being part of the industry as label material manufacturer and end user, I am humbled to serve all members to continue driving our mission. As treasurer, count on my dedication with high standards of financial transparency as we accelerate both our collaboration and the sustainable growth of the label sector.’
FINAT president Philippe Voet thanked Roberto’s predecessor Noël for his engagement as treasurer in the previous years, which coincided with a period of post Covid changes in the organisation and funding structure. He welcomed Roberto Martinez Porta to the leadership team and looked forward to a successful continuation of this key position on the board.
