Germany-based Messe Dusseldorf and US-based Printing United Alliance trade fair organisers have used Drupa as a platform to announce a closer working relationship to bolster their standing throughout the industry.
Sabine Geldermann, director Drupa, said: “Printing United Expo’s one-roof approach aligns very strongly with what Drupa has brought to the industry over the last seven decades. Showcasing the many applications printing technology has these days, not only in the graphic arts field but in packaging, industrial and textile, is what our attendees appreciate.”
Ford Bowers, CEO, Printing United Alliance, added: “Our partnership with Drupa underscores our commitment to advancing the entirety of the printing industry. Together, we will be able to deliver even more opportunities for growth and collaboration to all who participate in the marketplace of events. We look forward in the coming months to sharing our conversations on how this partnership will unfold and the benefits to all our partners.”
Drupa 2024 is currently taking place at Messe Dusseldorf and normally takes place in the same location in Dusseldorf every four years. Printing United Expo 2024 will be held 10-12 September at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
