The brewer launched its first pressure-sensitive label in Italy in 2004 and followed that success in 2006 when it introduced the new Heineken® Premium Light brand in the United States. “We saw a substantial surge in sales with Heineken Regular during the introductory months of the new label,” said Mr. Jelle Hess, Sr. Packaging Design Manager, Global Commerce, Heineken Brand. “And considering that we have sold over 1 billion bottles since the introduction, you can imagine we do not regret that choice!” “Our famous green Heineken bottle has gone through a great rejuvenation with the clear label, whilst maintaining the core quality and heritage cues, and the consumer loves it.” Mr. Jelle Hess, Sr. Packaging Design Manager, Global Commerce, Heineken Brand Avery Dennison Corporation, through its Roll Materials division, developed a custom engineered Fasson® clear film for the Heineken front, back and neck labels.

I hope you’ve had a pleasant lunch experience and that your taste buds have been tantalised with our beautiful beers and ciders. And if they haven’t been tantalised during the lunch, the good news is there’s one presentation to go which is mine, so I was after lunch, but I’m one step away from you getting back out to have a nice glass of cider or beer afterwards where I’m sure we can enjoy a little bit more conversation. My name is David Forde. I’m the Managing Director of Heineken UK. I’m Irish and before this I ran the Irish operations and before that I’ve worked in Heineken for 27 years in various sales and marketing roles in Ireland, in the Netherlands, in Poland and in the UK. What I’m going to try and do in the next 45 minutes is bring the story of Western Europe and bring our strategy, our Not An Inch Back strategy, bring it to life in the world that I live and work in the UK, and thankfully it’s the world that many of you also live and work in here in London which is a critical market for us.
