Tuesday 19. February 2008 - Every four years drupa, the worlds biggest trade show in the graphics trade, opens its doors. Across Messe Düsseldorfs 170,000 square meters of exposition space and in its 19 halls, upwards of 1,800 exhibitors will be showcasing all the latest developments throughout the printing and media industries.
More than 400,000 are expected. Running from May 29 to June 11, 2008, drupa is set to enjoy a record event in its fifty-year history.
The Hanovers high-tech company, ContiTech, will be present with its Elastomer Coatings business unit. The unit will have its wide-ranging selection on display under the CONTI-AIR brand motto “Print to perfection” and the Phoenix XtraBlankets brand motto “Your needs first”. Both brands are produced in Germany.
At a 228 m² booth in hall 6, the leading supplier of printing blankets will be showing off all its new printing blanket products and developments. The product highlights will come to life in the form of exhibition displays and presentations. Among the items on view are the two coldset printing blankets that made their market debut in fall – the CONTI-AIR JOURNAL-TR and the advanced CONTI-AIR EVOLUTION-TR. “drupa is the most important event for the printing blanket area and the absolute highlight for us this year,” declared Dr. Thomas Perkovic, head of the Printing Blanket segment at ContiTech Elastomer Coatings. “We want to take advantage of the trade show to tap an even greater market potential and, of course, to win over new customers.”
“With our concept, we offer the trade public the possibility of obtaining the very best information and of engaging in lively sales and development exchanges with our team and that of our partners,” stresses Dr. Perkovic. “It goes without saying that we shall also stretch out our feelers to other exhibitors – with a view to rewarding cooperative relationships.”
