Fespa has revealed that a raft of new and returning exhibitors will participate at its Global Print Expo in Munich in May.

490 companies are currently confirmed to exhibit at the show and the co-located European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience, including 95 returning suppliers, many of which were unable to attend the events held in Amsterdam and Berlin in the last two years due to travel restrictions.

Returning names include DP Solutions, Eurolaser, INX, Lüscher Technologies, Marabu, SPS TechnoScreen, Vastex International, and Vivid Laminating Technologies.

The line-up also features 78 new exhibitors, including Aerolam Decoratives, CarbonQuota, Duveholm Stallbacken, Magon, Newtown Packaging, Ronchini Massimo, Scandinavian Print Group, Toscana Systems, and Xeikon.

Also exhibiting are event sponsors Durst, Surfex, Brother, Mimaki, Hanglory, and HP, as well as hardware suppliers including Agfa, Aeoon, Aleph, Canon, Epson, Fujifilm, Kongsberg, Liyu, MHM, Sakurai, SwissQprint, Ricoh, Roland DG, and Zünd.

Confirmed automation and workflow software suppliers include Caldera, EFI, Enfocus, OneVision, and PrintFactory. Ahlstrom, APA, Hexis, ImagePerfect/Berger Textiles, InkTec, Neschen, Orafol, Poli-Tape, and Sun Chemical will be among the companies presenting media and consumables.

Head of Fespa Global Print Expo Michael Ryan said: “Exhibitors who haven’t been able to participate in Fespa events in the last few years can’t wait to share their innovations and expertise with our visitors.

“And we know that printers benefit hugely from being able to see products from many suppliers in one place, helping them to compare and evaluate the right investments for their business.

“Our mission this year is to give valuable new perspectives to printers and signmakers. With the strongest line-up of Fespa exhibitors since 2019, we can guarantee that visitors to Munich in May will be in the best place to get the insight and advice they need to overcome their production challenges, access new opportunities, and imagine their business future.”

The European Sign Expo 2023, which will be supported by platinum sponsor Efka, will reunite signage professionals with companies specialising in channel lettering, digital signage, dimensional signage, engraving and etching, illuminated displays, out of home media, LED, outdoor systems, laser cutters, and sign tools.

The new Personalisation Experience, meanwhile, will give visitors the opportunity to learn more about personalisation. Specialist suppliers exhibiting at the event will include Antigro, Brother, Dreamscape, Infigo, Optimus, Printbox, Print & Logistics, Taopix, and XMPie.

Fespa Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo, and Personalisation Experience will take place at Messe Munich from 23 to 26 May. Registration is now live, and further information including entry pricing is available at: fespaglobalprintexpo.com/.
