PPTF marks 50th anniversary today

The Philippine Printing Technical Foundation (PPTF), Inc., the country’s leading technical association for printers, will kick off its 50th Golden Anniversary with a grand triple affair today at the Mindanao Ballroom of Sofitel Philippine Plaza.

Embracing the theme “Golden Excellent Contribution to the Philippine Printing Industry,” the event will feature PPTF’s first general membership meeting of the year, induction of officers and trustees (2017-2018) and the group’s 50th anniversary celebration.

Since its humble beginning in 1967, PPTF has seized ever y change and major shift in the printing industry as an opportunity to evolve, reinvent itself, and remain an active and innovative partner for its members.

PPTF aims to develop the Philippine printing industry to the level of professionalism found in other countries, where excellent schools are devoted exclusively to the science and art of printing.

The foundation continues to focus on its upgrading seminars and has teamed up with PUM Senior Experts of the Netherlands to help develop the standardization of printing skills as mandated by TESDA.

“Fast forward to 2017, the changes within the industry as spearheaded by the association has been seismic as the scope of its projects and activities developed far beyond expectations as we enter the ASEAN Era,” printing and publishing icon, Atty. Dominador D. Buhain, who is currently PPTF President, said.

Atty. Alfredo C. Lim, President and CEO of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. will be the guest speaker and inducting officer.
