This was supported by other exhibitors including: Sebastian Saidman, DT Tec: “FESPA is the biggest exhibition for graphic arts equipment in Mexico”, and; Alberto Corral, HP: “For HP it is very important to participate in FESPA. It is a forum for us to do business.”
The campaign theme for FESPA Mexico 2014 is ‘Connecting with Print Innovation’. The event will showcase the latest industry news, product innovation and content led features to help printers extend their business. Lorraine Harrow, FESPA Marketing Manager explains the campaign puzzle imagery: “The puzzle pieces signify how printers can keep adding pieces - print applications, solutions or new technologies - to their businesses to develop their own set of services and a niche in the market. At the centre of this is the FESPA Mexico event where print solution providers can source ideas and equipment; connecting with print innovation.”
Michael Ryan, Group Exhibition Manager, comments: “Mexico is recognised as one of the leading emerging economies in the world. The continual development of FESPA Mexico reflects the optimism of this market.Exhibitors are enthusiastic about committing to the event; 84% of the entire exhibition space has already been allocated and we are targeting our largest number of exhibitors, which will make the 2014 event the most significant to date.
“In 2013, we saw more international manufacturers at the show - especially from the digital printing, textile printing and screen printing markets - which was met with an increase in visitors from Central America. This year we are anticipating record numbers from Central American countries including Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.”
FESPA will announce more details on its educational visitor features in April, the content of which will allow printers to explore the industry landscape and make FESPA Mexico 2014 an unmissable event for the Mexican print community.
