FESPA Corporate Press releases

Visitors and exhibitors have hailed the third FESPA Mexico (26^th- 28^th August 2010) an outstanding success. Attracting nearly 9000 visitors to the three day fair, many exhibitors commented that it was the busiest show they had been to in a long time and that sale targets were readily achieved if not surpassed.

The first meeting of FESPA’s Americas Steering Group took place during FESPA 2010 in Munich. The Group was brought together to represent all FESPA’s stakeholder groups in the Americas, including exhibitors, print service providers, regional business support organisations, media and sector analysts.

The top winners of FESPA’s 2010 Awards received their prizes at the Gala Dinner at Munich’s Nockherberg on Friday 25^th June.

Laut des jüngsten Worldwide Survey der FESPA sind deutsche Druckunternehmen für Großformate im internationalen Vergleich führend, wenn es um die Auffassung, dass digitale Herstellung die Plattform für zukünftiges Wachstum ist, geht.  Mehr als 69 % der deutschen Druckunternehmen, verglichen mit nur 50,5 % weltweit, sind der Auffassung, dass eine exklusive Digitaldruckproduktion das Erfolgsrezept für die Branche für Großdruckformate ist.

This year’s FESPA Mexico 2010, taking place from 26 – 28 August 2010 (Centro Banamex, Mexico City) is set to be the biggest FESPA Mexico show to date, with a 40% increase in exhibitor floor space, and significant commitment from international exhibitors.

Opportunities arising from the shift to digital production are keeping printers optimistic for the future of their individual businesses despite the downturn, according to FESPA’s third Worldwide Survey, the results of which are published today.

The first FESPA Global Summit - which took place from 25-26 March 2010 in Miami, Florida, USA - called for stronger business leadership and a strategic commitment to innovation for print service providers to grow again out of the downturn.

FESPA expects to run the first FESPA Americas in Orlando, Florida, from 24-26 February 2011, alongside Graphics of the Americas, pending final confirmation of an agreement with the Printing Association of Florida.

FESPA (www.fespa.com) has welcomed the recently merged Swiss trade association Verband Werbetechnik + Print (Association of Advertising Technology and Print) to its global community of member associations, ratifying the decision at its recent General Assembly in Lisbon, Portugal.

As it continues to build its international community, FESPA announces the addition of the Mexican association Amerografics to its member base, only weeks after the Sri Lanka Association of Printers and the Nepal Printers Association join as FESPA associate members.
