When Ivo Conti joined IMS Technologies in July 2025, he stepped into a company — and an industry — undergoing profound transformation.
In just a few months, he has listened, observed, and defined a clear direction for the road ahead: one driven by innovation, sustainability, and people.
In our conversation, he shared his vision and what lies ahead for IMS Technologies.
After your first months at IMS Technologies, how do you see the company’s future?
“My goal is to make IMS Technologies a global benchmark for innovation in the converting and packaging industry,” says Conti.
The ambition goes far beyond being a machinery manufacturer. IMS Technologies aims to be a true technology partner, providing integrated, digital, and sustainable solutions that anticipate market needs.
“We want to position IMS Technologies as a strategic partner — one that combines technological excellence with human capital to generate lasting value.”
What will be the company’s main priorities for the coming years?
“We are living through a historic shift where digitalization, automation 5.0, and technological innovation are redefining how we manufacture,” explains Conti.
IMS Technologies’ roadmap focuses on three key priorities:
- Driving innovation, with smart, connected solutions that enhance efficiency and customer value.
- Expanding global presence, acting as both a commercial partner and a service provider, offering flexible support and solutions across markets.
- Embedding sustainability into every decision, ensuring that responsibility and competitiveness grow hand in hand.
“The future belongs to those who can combine vision, technology, and agility.”
What role will people play in this journey of innovation and growth?
“People are — and will always be — the heart of IMS Technologies,” Conti affirms.
He believes in distributed leadership, in giving space to ideas, encouraging collaboration, and nurturing a culture of curiosity.
“Technology keeps evolving, but without passion and competence, it remains just a collection of tools. Our real competitive advantage lies in our people — and they are the foundation on which I want to build the company’s future.”
“2025 was the year of listening. 2026 will be the year of action.”
With these words, Ivo Conti sums up his vision: a clear course toward transforming IMS Technologies into a company that is increasingly digital, sustainable, and connected to the future.
