Expo Producción
Co-located with FESPA Mexico, launching in 2025, Expo Producción is an event for the textile supply chain, designed to connect manufacturers, brands, retailers, and suppliers. The event enables visitors to learn about the latest trends, products and innovations in the textile industry, and highlights FESPA’s wider commitment to supporting the global print and textile community – in Latin America and across the globe.
The FESPA Awards
The FESPA Awards celebrate our community’s exceptional achievements in the speciality print sector. Established in 1991, the awards set the benchmark for excellence and recognise the outstanding work of printers and sign-makers in our global community. Every two years, hundreds of entries are submitted and meticulously evaluated by a panel of industry experts. The FESPA Awards offer print businesses a unique platform to showcase their work and gain global recognition. Shortlisted entries are displayed at FESPA Global Print Expo in the form of an open exhibition for visitors.
Winners of The FESPA Awards are announced at the highly anticipated ceremony, which not only honours the winners, but also provides an opportunity for members of the FESPA community to network and celebrate their achievements. In addition to the 18 main categories, there are special awards for innovation, sustainability, and the Young Star Award, which recognises young talent in the industry.
