Every year, Creon goes to PSI – The Leading International Network of the Promotional Product Industry – in Dusseldorf, Germany. We go PSI to fish out new and innovative branded items and suppliers and keep an eye on new and cool trends and ideas.

Joakim Håkansson, Key Account Manager at Creon, was particularly interested in the wide range of textile products present at the trade show. Many are produced with minimal use of harmful substances, which we see as a very positive environmental trend.

Key Account Managers Magdalena, Sibban, Fia and Isabel were also there and brought home new insights and fun and innovative branded item ideas. After the fair, Dragan, Art Director at Creon said ‘This years PSI has shown me that sustainability in materials and processes, transparency and tracability of goods and materials and a general good attitude towards people and the environment are to stay’. Good news for me and the promotional products industry!

Packed with activity. Packed with fun. Enjoyed by everybody. The Växjö Charity Gala Day 2018 started at 8 AM and went on throughout the day and rounded off with an exceptional entertainment gala at the Fort Knox Arena in Växjö. It was sponsored by large and small companies and organizations operating in and around Växjö, Kronoberg County, Sweden. Golf and Paddle Tennis were the main sporting activities of the day and competitions were held in these sports. In the evening, the Fort Knox Arena hosted a dinner and a show where entertainment celebrities gave us a great end to a great day. During the evening the three recipient groups of Växjö Charity Annual Funding together received over 1,000,000 SEK. The financial sponsorship comes from donations from companies in Växjö and Kronoberg County and beyond, and the proceeds of the Växjö Charity Gala Event.
