More than 250 suppliers already contracted to exhibit and many more active discussions are in progress. The list of confirmed participants includes many who were unable to be at the 2021 Amsterdam event and who are now eager to regain their momentum by being part of the Spring 2022 events.

Visitors will be able to see hardware solutions from major exhibitors including event sponsors Durst, Mimaki, Brother and HP, as well as Agfa, Aleph, Canon, Epson, Fujifilm, Kornit Digital, Mutoh, M&R, Roland DG and SwissQprint. The array of media and consumables suppliers includes 3A, Ahlstrom Munksjö, Avery Dennison, Hexis, InkTec, Neenah Coldenhove, Neschen, Orafol, Poli-Tape and Sun Chemical. Barbieri Electronic, Caldera, OneVision and Onyx Graphics are among the companies presenting automation, workflow and colour management solutions.

Strapline ‘Experience Print in Motion’

The campaign strapline ‘Experience Print in Motion’ highlights how, despite the challenges of the past two years, the speciality print market and the technology that supports it continue to evolve and progress. “Speciality print businesses are back up and running and making future plans, and Fespa Global Print Expo 2022 will give them fresh momentum, supporting them with investment decisions and ideas development at a critical time in the sector’s sustained recovery”, says Michael Ryan, Head of Fespa Global Print Expo. “After more than two years dominated by virtual alternatives, business decision-makers really need the energy and connections that only live events enable. The true value of a Fespa event for exhibitors and visitors is the wider experience: close-up views of technology and consumables; making human connections; networking with like-minded business people; being inspired and discovering the latest technologies and consumables. In Amsterdam last autumn, we took the first steps to bringing colour back to speciality print. Now we all need to experience print in motion.”

Berlin as host

Berlin has previously hosted highly successful Fespa exhibitions in 2007 and 2018, and the facilities and travel connections make the venue a popular destination amongst exhibitors and visitors. Occupying eight halls, the 2022 event will provide a platform for technological innovation in digital wide format, screen and textile printing.

Enhancing the visitor experience at Fespa Global Print Expo 2022, Fespa’s popular Printeriors interior décor feature will highlight the many opportunities in printed interior décor, again taking the form of an interactive visitor experience. World Wrap Masters will also return, offering visitors the chance to see European vehicle wrappers compete for the title of World Wrap Master Europe 2022, followed by the show-down of the regional competition winners in the World Wrap Masters final.
