The organic and printed electronics industry is growing steadily.

Over 80 percent of survey participants expect the industry to continue its positive development in the coming year.
With another new product development from its proven “RFID on Metal” label family, Schreiner ProTech (Oberschleißheim, Germany) has solved a further challenge posed by globalisation: The ((rfid))-DistaFerr Global Label has an integrated dual-band antenna that enables reading of the two frequency bands, ETSI and FCC. This makes the label suitable for the frequencies commonly used around the globe and ensures reliable readability on all metallic substrates.
In November, the world of electronics comes together in Munich, Germany, at electronica, the world's leading exhibition and conference for electronics.
