The Wallcoverings Association (WA) has signed on as a supporter and association partner of InPrint USA: The Exhibition of Print Technology for Industrial Manufacturing, taking place April 9-11, 2019 at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The partnership will bring together leading industrial print providers with wallcovering designers, manufacturers, and distributors seeking the latest in digital print technology.

"There has been definite growth in the use of industrial print by the décor market, and wallcoverings is one area that has been successfully using the technology," stated Melissa Magestro, EVP of Mack Brooks Exhibitions Inc. "InPrint USA can help make connections between the industrial print suppliers and wallcovering designers and manufacturers.”

According to I.T. Strategies, research consultants for the digital print community, wallcoverings saw over $100 million in revenue in 2017, and is one of the many fast-growing sectors within industrial printing.

The Wallcoverings Association is a non-profit trade association representing wallcoverings manufacturers, distributors and suppliers. The WA provides a vehicle for communication between various segments of the wallcoverings industry while promoting the use of wallcoverings in the marketplace.

“Our partnership with InPrint USA will help expose our membership to new design and customization possibilities available with industrial print," said Matt Bruno, Executive Director of the Wallcoverings Association. "This is a good opportunity for our members to learn about the technology and how it can grow their business.”

InPrint USA is the leading exhibition for emerging technologies across many industrial printing fields, including digital, inkjet, specialty, and screen print solutions. Exhibitors from around the world will showcase equipment, technology, and services for printing on textiles, plastics, woods, glass, ceramics, and other substrates in an individualized and cost-efficient way.
