The show was 20% larger than the previous edition in 2013, the event provided exhibitors the chance to explore a comprehensive display of products and services across wide format digital printing, screen printing, signage, textile printing and garment decoration sectors.

80% of the exhibition audience came from cities across Turkey, achieved by large Chamber of Commerce delegations from major cities across the country. The international visitors came from 78 countries, with top representation from Iran, Greece, Bulgaria, Tunisia and Russia.

Michael Ryan, exhibition manager, Fespa group said, “We are extremely happy with the increased number of unique visitors to the event. Our visitor figure of 8,625 – which is unique individuals and excludes exhibitors or revisiting attendees – demonstrates the buoyancy of the market. The feedback from the exhibitors about the quality of the visitors has also been encouraging; they have seen business owners and decision-makers from many countries on their stand. We are looking forward to coming back to Istanbul for Fespa Eurasia 2015.”
