Baumann Maschinenbau, Bielomatik, Electronics for Imaging, Hewlett Packard, Leonhard Kurz Stiftung, Manroland Web Systems and Technotrans have joined the Drupa 2016 committee, a reflection of the changing face of print.
“With this decision we’re taking into account current developments in the printing and media industry – above all the growing significance of digital printing with the resulting demands on post-press operations, continually increasing automation across all process stages and the mega trends value-added printing and packaging,” said Werner Matthias Dornscheidt, president and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf which runs Drupa.
The 26-member committee, together with Messe Düsseldorf, makes key policy decisions about the print media trade fair, including, for example, the recent decision to shorten the length of the trade fair to eleven days while maintaining the Olympic four-year cycle. It is composed of representatives from the exhibiting industry and represents the show’s entire technology spectrum.
