FESPA Mexico 2016, the region’s largest dedicated exhibition for digital and screen wide format print, garment decoration and signage, returns to Centro Banamex Mexico City from 18-20 August 2016.

2016 will mark the ninth edition of the Mexican event and will build on its position as the leading wide format graphics exhibition in Mexico and Central America.

With 95% of the floorspace allocated three months ahead of the show, FESPA Mexico 2016 will be 10% larger than the last event in 2015 and with a total of 150 leading manufacturers and distributors under the one roof, there is more than ever for visitors to explore. This year 30% of exhibitors are international and 20% are first-time exhibitors including: Cosign, Filmtex, Oki Data, Plotters Mexico and Valoris/Xerox, providing a wide spectrum of market leading and innovative solutions.

Following the success of previous FESPA Mexico events, a number of exhibitors have increased their stand space for this year’s event including: Fassi Digital, Lozano, Papel.mx, Sain Soplai, Alpha Beta, Camfive and Euro Trade Textile. Other confirmed exhibitors include: Casa Diaz, Celupal, DYPPSA, Excel Ink, HP, Kornit, Lozano, MHM, Multicam, Roland and Segra.

Under the theme, ‘Seek New Horizons in Print’, visitors to the exhibition will be able to discover the latest technology developments and applications, while also keeping up to date with the key market trends in the seminar area and seeing live demonstrations across the show. The event will also provide the perfect platform for networking with industry peers.

Michael Ryan, Group Exhibition Manager for FESPA comments: "Each year FESPA Mexico goes from strength to strength. The commitment from exhibitors this year has been extremely positive. Companies aren’t just re-booking, they are also increasing their presence, which reflects the value they place on the exhibition. This year, we’re seeing an increased presence of textile solutions at the show, as the majority of companies who have increased their stand space are predominantly from the textile sector – showing the latest in sublimation, screen printing and direct to garment. With more exhibitors than before, access to free educational content and networking opportunities, FESPA Mexico is a must-attend event for the region’s printers in 2016."

Visitors to last year’s exhibition reinforce Michael’s positivity for the event, commenting:

"2015 was the sixth time I visited FESPA Mexico, and each time the exhibition has something new to offer me. The whole world is here. I have met with large and well-known suppliers whose relationships I have maintained here throughout the years." Miguel Ángel Jiménez, Wide Format Division, Midi Corp

Salvador Reyes, Managing Director, ADN Exacto: "The 2015 show was really good. FESPA Mexico is a recognised exhibition and you can really find almost all the important suppliers in one place. I believe it’s an important appointment to make year after year for all industry stakeholders, that is why I always visit."
