InPrint Munich 2019: Industrial print industry well-positioned to attract new business
From 12 to 14 November 2019, held at the Munich Trade Fair Centre, Germany,InPrint Munichwill once again be the powerhouse for the emerging community of printing and industrial manufacturing specialists
T
he International Exhibition of Print Technology for Industrial Manufacturing has become a
central platform to present, discover and source smart printing applications that can be integrated into industrial production processes. Five months before opening day, more than 100 exhibitors from 15 countries have already confirmed their participation, occupying nearly three quarters of the 2017 exhibition space with bookings on-going. Consumer-driven markets have created
an upward spiral of demand for bespoke design solutions, limited editions and individualised products, opening up new business potential for both providers of printing technology as well as industrial manufacturers. Companies across industries are increasingly aware that they can gain competitive advantages and add value to their products by implementing innovative printing technology as part of their manufacturing line. Over recent years, print technology
providers have been working hard to develop new equipment and solutions capable of transforming or enhancing industrial processes, often in joint projects or partnerships with manufacturing specialists. Advances in automation and robotics, vision systems, curing equipment, and software for workflow and colour management, as well as more effective print head technology, fluids and inks are the

biggest contributors to the current growth of print technologies in many sectors of industrial manufacturing, including smart packaging solutions, printed electronics, functional print on fabrics, films and foils, customisation of brand products, decorative floorings and furnishings, automotive interiors, fast fashion, and many others.
GROWING SPECIALIST COMMUNITY CAPITALISES ON NEW TECHNOLOGIES Industry professionals see the print industry on a successful path as it capitalises on new technologies, gaining a standing in industrial manufacturing and strengthening the competitive power of print service providers and their clients, notably branded goods manufacturers and industrial production companies. Holger Busch, managing director of the
German Association for Print and Media in Bavaria (VDMB) and long-term strategic event partner, praises the industry’s drive, highlighting the crucial role of InPrint Munich as the essential business barometer for the industry when it comes to bringing new products to the market: “InPrint shows that industrial print is a
growth market with enormous potential Germany and Europe. It also demonstrates that printed products have gained enormous importance for production and added value in many industries. The German print industry is in an excellent position here, presenting itself with a high drive and
exceptional standard of performance. We value InPrint as an outstanding partner and look forward to continue our cooperation for 2019.” InPrint Munich has now clearly moved on
from a developmental networking event into a leading industry platform and trade exhibition, with increasing sales activity on the show floor. The previous show in 2017 attracted around 3,000 visitors from 63 countries. They were high-profile industry professionals from the printing industry and a wide range of industry sectors. Around 90 per cent of visitors at the previous show attended to seek out specific products or suppliers that could help them improve their production process and generate new business; every third visitor came with definite investment plans.
