The exhibition is to take place at the BITEC exhibition centre, Bangkok, Thailand from 15 to 17 February 2017 and the organisers claim it to be ‘ASEAN region’s largest and most comprehensive event for digital wide-format, screen and textile printing’.

“We’re delighted to have such strong engagement from so many major international companies for Fespa Asia 2017 and such resounding endorsement from the regional associations. What is clear is that, while printers across Asia have access to small, local events, they are looking to Fespa to deliver a stand-out regional event where they can meet the leading international vendors under one roof, network with prominent PSPs from across the region and access high quality educational content that brings together the deepest sector expertise from around the world,” said Roz McGuinness, divisional director of Fespa.

Fespa’s activity in Asia is actively promoted by nine national associations in Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Republic of Korea, Japan, China, Philippines and Australia, who support a combined membership of more than 2,000 print service providers.

“By reinvesting in the print community and building demand for print, Fespa Asia is showing exemplary commitment to our local print industry. We believe that the exhibition will create and offer new initiatives for print suppliers and buyers across Asia,” said Mustafa Kapadia, president of Screen Printers Association of India.

The exhibition will also include free seminar programme featuring notable speakers from Asia and beyond. Seminar sessions are free to attend.
