Canon drupa end of show statement

Friday 25. May 2012 - David Preskett, Director of Professional Print, Canon Europe:

“With drupa 2012 now closed, I’d like to comment on what a great success the show has been for Canon. We came to drupa to inspire visitors to see the bigger picture and the opportunities it offers. From the positive feedback we received and the high numbers at our Insight Report seminars, it’s clear that customers felt they gained a unique perspective on their business. Visitor numbers to the Canon stand were impressive, with over 10,000 new leads captured. And while we had a strong representation from Western Europe, it was also great to see large customer groups from the USA and emerging markets, such as the Middle East and Brazil.”
“On the sales side, we saw strong orders across our product range, from Océ continuous feed presses to Canon imagePRESSes – in fact, across the EMEA region we sold a total of 390 Canon and Océ production printers. Delivering a new level of speed and quality, the innovative Océ Velocity wide format device also generated a huge amount of interest. For Canon, drupa 2012 exceeded our expectations and, through further investment and innovation, we’ll continue to support the many customers who invested in the expertise we offer across the printing spectrum.”
