Komori at Expoprint
Tuesday 17. August 2010 - The largest printing exhibition in Latin America "ExpoPrint Latin America 2010" was held for 7 days from June 23 through 29, 2010 at the Transamerica Expo Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
ExpoPrint, organized by the Brazilian Association of the Agents of Vendors of Equipment and Product Resources for the Graphical Industry (AFEIGRAF), is held every 4 years and this years event was the 2nd. The total show space of the exhibition reached 28,000 square meters with 215 exhibitors from around the world presenting their latest technologies and products. According to the event organizers announcement, the total number of visitors was 35,458, exceeding its original prediction of 30,000 by a very large number of visitors from other Latin American countries, including Brazil.
Komori participated in the show in cooperation with its local distributor, Gutenberg with a 1,350-square-meter booth, one of the largest in the exhibition hall.
Komori put the main theme “KOMORI SOLUTIONS” under its corporate slogan “Kando: Beyond Expectations”. Through various demonstrations by exhibited four presses and three exhibit zones of Offset press, Chambon and DoNet set up in the booth, we introduced the details of those superior performances including the latest technologies to meet various customers demands. During the exhibition, we conducted two demonstrations for each press – in total eight times a day that attracted many visitors. We set up a small Japanese garden in the reception area in order to create a Japanese atmosphere for customers who visited our booth.

Two of the presses that we exhibited, the LITHRONE S29 equipped with H-UV system and the ENTHRONE 29, were being introduced to the Latin American market for the first time.
In the demonstrations of the LITHRONE S29, we showed the effects of the H-UV System – its “high quality printing”, “quick delivery”, “powder-free operation”, and “production improvement”.
For the ENTHRONE 29, we demonstrated a quick job change from thin paper (0.12 mm) to cardboard (0.46 mm).
We exhibited two LITHRONE S40Ps, which already have a proven track record of successful results in Latin America. On one we demonstrated a six-color + coater with single-sided printing and on the other one we demonstrated a 4-color with double-sided printing, including one job change respectively.
The individual press demonstrations generated a lot of intense customer interest.
On the fourth day of the exhibition, June 23 from 6 p.m., we held a “Latin American Party”. The party was very exciting by the entertainment such as samba, etc., and through it we were able to deepen our relationships with customers, our staff, and distributors from each country.
With quite a large number of visitors, the Komori booth became one of the most flourishing booths at the exhibition. In spite of the severe situation the global printing industry has been operating under, our company was able to achieve results that exceeded our expectations. Thank you again to all of you.
We are looking forward to seeing you again at the next ExpoPrint 2014.
