Ipex 2014 celebrates return of Komori

Ipex 2014 has received some good news after Komori made a partial return to the troubled trade show.

Komori will now sponsor the new 450sqm 'Eco Zone', although it has not reversed last year's decision not to exhibit at the show.

Organiser Informa Exhibitions stressed that the Eco Zone was an Ipex feature, sponsored by Komori.

As the sponsor, the litho press manufacturer will get to demonstrate its technology on the Eco Zone stand in the form of a five-colour 40" press with coater and dryer, featuring its ozone-free, low-cost H-UV curing system.

Komori will host five or six presentations a day focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The presentations will be fronted by Ipex, and will include a section on the H-UV technology, which will be a presentation by Komori.

Ipex sales director Wayne Beckett said: "We are delighted that Komori made the decision to participate in Ipex, and are confident that commercial printers from around the world will benefit significantly from their offset technology and eco-expertise.

"As the role of print continues to evolve in the multi-channel marketing communications mix, it is important to dispel any misperceptions in the industry about its environmental impact. Komori has a brilliant green story to tell, and their participation in the Eco Zone will allow them to do this at Ipex 2014."

Informa said the fine details of Komori's sponsorship package had yet to be finalised and could not comment on the extent to which Komori would be able to use the Eco Zone as its own 'stand' between presentations.
