Touted as the biggest Fespa China yet the exhibition is back for a third time and due to high demand it has increased its floor space by 13 per cent from its 2013 launch. The exhibition held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre is set to open its doors from October 21-23, 2015.
Themed ‘find your key to success’, the organisers say the event will provide visitors with ‘inspiration and skills to unlock their business potential’. Roz McGuinness, Fespa divisional director, says the show is back for its third iteration due to high demand and unprecedented positive customer engagement. McGuinness says, “Our launch event in Shanghai in 2013 was met with a fantastic response, and we developed the event further last year in Guangzhou. “We are looking forward to building on this success for a bigger and more comprehensive event in 2015. With the number of international exhibitors in attendance, it is clear that Fespa is defining its market position as a key regional event for the major brands.” Organisers say the exhibition will feature the latest industry technology launches, product innovation and content-led programmes. Managed in partnership with CSGIA (China Screen Printing and Graphic Imaging Association), Fespa China is expecting to fill over 12,000sqm of floor space with visitors from around the globe. The event’s annual cycle sees it alternate between venues in Shanghai and Guangzhou. Organisers say this enables Fespa to engage with a broad cross-section of the Chinese market and attract many international exhibitors and visitors.
Global exhibitors already confirmed for the October 2015 event include Kornit, Siser, Dgen, Mimaki, Keundo, Asialink (for Anajet) and Synnex (for Roland). Local participants include Denishi Denbishi Fine Chemical, Ever-Bright Printing Machine, Shenyang Shicheng Printing Machinery, Dongguan and Suzhou Yihui Printing Machinery Factory, Invision Printing Materials, Rugao Tianyuan Garment Printing and Caiyun Printing Supplier. More than 9500 visitors attended the inaugural Fespa China 2013 exhibition from 77 countries. In 2014, attendance grew to 15,166 from 91 countries, cementing Fespa China’s position as a regional event. After mainland China, the largest visitor delegations were from India, Japan, Korea and Malaysia, with printers also travelling from Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as Australasia, Europe, USA, Africa and South America.
