Esko Connects the Packaging Puzzle

Esko’s ambition can be summed up in three words Giovanni Vigone shares during this conversation: “Automate, connect, and accelerate.”

Responsible for Esko’s business in Italy, Spain, and Portugal, Giovanni has worked in the market since 1994 and has spent roughly 14 years with Esko. He describes a packaging environment where speed increasingly matters from the earliest stages of ideation through production and delivery. Esko’s goal is to connect brand owners, converters, and the broader supply chain through an integrated ecosystem, helping move packaging from an idea to the shelf in as little as 13 days — with Giovanni expecting that timeline to become even shorter.

He likens Esko’s portfolio to pieces of a puzzle: Individual software solutions can deliver value independently, but connecting them creates a much broader workflow extending from the brand to its suppliers and ultimately to the marketplace. AI is increasingly embedded throughout those pieces as Esko looks for more opportunities to automate work and accelerate the entire process.

That connected approach is especially relevant for HP Indigo users looking to reduce manual steps, protect file integrity, and get more productivity from digital packaging workflows. Esko’s engagement in the Dscoop community gives members another experienced partner to engage as they explore how automation can improve their own operations.
