In 2017 the Global Aluminium Foil Roller Initiative (Glafri) announced the inauguration of The Robert V Neher Award, an academic competition involving aluminium foil and closures designed to seek out and reward the very best in innovative packaging and technical applications. The award, which is named after the inventor of the aluminium foil rolling process, invited submissions from students and academia from the packaging and food sectors and technical universities worldwide. Six entries from around the globe were submitted by the end of May and were assessed by a jury of five senior individuals with academic and/or specific industrial backgrounds. Glafri president Goksal Gungor and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jurgen Hirsch, head of the jury, will announce the Award winner at a ceremony on 9 October at the ALUMINIUM 2018 trade fair in Dusseldorf. A cheque for 10,000 euros will be presented to a representative of the award-winning work.
