drupa and PRINTING United Expo announce strategic partnership

Trade fairs drupa and PRINTING United Expo located in Europe and North America respectively have announced a closer working relationship.

Both organisations, with their customer-centric focus, will look to make all their events even more relevant and beneficial to both attendees and exhibitors in the ever-changing printing technology landscape.

Sabine Geldermann, director drupa, Portfolio Print Technologies, 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 takes place every four years in Düsseldorf with the next exhibition to take place in 2028. The next PRINTING United Expo will take place in Las Vegas from September 10 to 12.
