FESPA refreshes market insight with second global Print Census
F
ESPA is launching its second Print Census of the global specialty printing community. The aim is to update its insight into key trends in the market, support its understanding of the challenges and opportunities for printers and to help to shape FESPAʼs own product offering for the future. The second edition of the research will delve further into the
six over-arching trends to emerge from the analysis of the 2014/2015 Census, namely: optimism; customer demands; changing product mix, digital technology as change enabler; textile print growth; and the future of sign and display, while also incorporating additional questions on the topic of sustainability. Continuity of key survey topics will enable FESPA to track longer-term trends, while also identifying new drivers of change and opportunity for the community. The first FESPA Print Census collected over 1,200 completed surveys and FESPA Print Census 2 aims to expand this source of data, working with 37 FESPA national associations to maximise responses from their local membership bases. Visitors to FESPA exhibitions across the globe will be able to complete the Print Census onsite. The survey will also be available for print service providers to complete online. FESPA general secretary, Sean Holt, said: “What makes the FESPA Print Census unique as a piece of global research is our direct access, via our associations, to the specialty printing community, and the opportunity to survey print service providers face to face at our own events. This close engagement allows us to gather valuable insight at ʻground levelʼ, helping FESPA to refresh and reinforce its intelligence from a broad base of

respondents with a genuine interest in the survey outcomes.” The first FESPA Print Census 2014/2015 represented the full spectrum of print businesses, with responses as follows: screen and digital printers (34%); commercial, quick printers and reprographic shops (15%); sign-makers (13%); graphic designers (7%); advertising agencies (5%). Industrial manufacturers made up 8% of respondents, representing an emerging community of digital print users.

Simon Jersey to dress Team GB for PyeongChang 2018 Athletes will wear their suits
ccrington uniform and workwear company Simon Jersey has
been selected to supply Team GB for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics. Following its support of the team for last yearʼs Olympic Games, Simon Jersey will supply the winter athletes with contemporary formalwear from its suiting range. Plans are now well underway for selection of the suits Team GB will receive from Simon Jerseyʼs extensive range.
Tom Wilburn tests Simon Jersey’s suits
to events during and after the PyeongChang 2018. The first of these is set to be a reception when they arrive in South Korea, just before the games begin. To celebrate the announcement Simon Jersey worked with indoor real snow slope, Snozone, the UK training base for many of next yearʼs skiing and snowboarding hopefuls, to see how its range performed. Freestyle coach, Tom Wilburn, took to the slope to test the flexibility,
performance and durability of the Simon Jersey suiting range in an extreme display of snowboard acrobatics. The suit he tested included features such as a Teflon coating for water resistance, ensuring he stayed dry on the slope, and a responsive waistband to allow him to achieve his freestyle moves. Last year, Simon Jersey provided the suiting for Team GB to wear at events such as the ambassadorʼs reception ahead of Rio 2016 plus a visit to Buckingham Palace to celebrate the teamʼs success.
drupa 2020 dates brought forward by one week T
he dates of the 2020 edition of drupa have been brought forward to Tuesday, June 16 to Friday, June 26. This was agreed by the drupa committee
and Messe Düsseldorf at its meeting on February 15. This decision was made because in some European countries, the summer holidays would have already started during the initially planned dates (June 23 to July
| 10 | April 2017
3). By changing the dates Messe Düsseldorf is responding to requests voiced by both exhibitors and visitors alike. Explaining the move Werner Dornscheidt, president and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, said: “When we decided to stick to the four-year cycle of drupa in consultation with the leading representatives of the industry during drupa 2016, the majority of holiday dates had not been published yet.
“Now we are really pleased that we can
offer this solution although there is hardly any room for manoeuvre in the packed trade fair year of 2020. The fact that we agreed on a more compact stand construction period also contributes to holding the entire trade fair in June. And we are delighted to be able to act in our customersʼ interest by kicking off one week earlier than originally planned.”
