Head of FESPA Global Print Expo, Michael Ryan, comments: “We’re looking forward to being back at Messe Berlin in a couple of weeks’ time for this year’s exhibitions. Although FESPA Global Print Expo is an annual event, every year brings with it something new and different – from new product launches, features, exhibitors and trends. This is what I believe makes our FESPA events unique and worth a visit year on year. With over 560 exhibitors and a broad feature programme this year, there is a lot for visitors to explore, be inspired by and grow their knowledge. I’m looking forward to seeing what FESPA Global Print Expo has in store for all of our visitors.”
