FESPA prepares for inaugural China event

ASIA - FESPA’s screen printing tradeshow in China is expecting to draw more than 18,000 visitors at its inaugural event this November.
 
FESPA China 2013 will be held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center, managed in partnership with the China Screen Printing and Graphic Imaging Association (CSGIA), FESPA’s associate member in China.
 
“FESPA China will add fresh dimensions to the long-established CSGIA exhibition, which alternates its location between Shanghai and the southern city of Guangzhou,” said FESPA CEO Nigel Steffens.
 
“Our aim is to develop FESPA China to become an international wide format printing event, attracting global exhibitors and visitors from across Asia.”
 
The organiser is expecting more than 400 exhibiting companies to display their technology and innovative products.
 
FESPA and CSGIA’s Future for Print Conference will be held during the event, focusing on industry topics including textile digital printing solutions, UV ice rinks, glass art decoration and environmental wrapping film solutions.
 
Steffens said Shanghai is an ideal host city for the launch event. “This is one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-growing cities. It offers international exhibitors a stable political and economic environment in which to do business, and delivers the calibre of visitor facilities expected by international business travellers.”
 
FESPA China will be held from 18 to 20 November 2013.
