While I understand the visitor numbers for the exhibition, I have some questions regarding the exhibitor figures. In my search for companies exhibiting at drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies, I noticed that some were co-exhibiting with other companies, which might not have been fully accounted for. Therefore, the discrepancy of 182 exhibitors could be significantly less. Despite this, I believe the show was a success. Conversations with attendees revealed a positive sentiment about the exhibition space and the large turnout. Reflecting on the changes in the print industry between 2016 and 2024, it is evident that the sector has undergone significant transformation. Advancements in digital printing technologies, the increasing integration of sustainable practices, and the rise of sophisticated software and AI have reshaped the landscape. These innovations have streamlined processes, improved precision, and enabled more personalized printing solutions. This evolution highlights the importance of such exhibitions in showcasing these advancements and fostering industry growth. Public transport challenges, particularly around the public holiday preceding Friday, may have impacted accessibility. Trains were notably unreliable in terms of punctuality, which was surprising. It is crucial for exhibition organizers, especially smaller expos, to pay attention to public transport links. This not only affects the printing industry but also reflects on Germany's overall efficiency and infrastructure, which are interconnected. I agree with Marcus Timson, a really big Thumbs up to the DRUPA 2024, and I cannot wait to see the differences that will be shown at 2028. DO read the Blog from FutuePrint.

Read our FuturePrint Drupa Headline Review here. Messe Dusseldorf has now published that 170,000 trade visitors attended drupa 2024. This compares with 260,165 in 2016, and that is a huge decrease. There was also a lower number of exhibitors compared with 2016 - 1,825 v 1,643 in 2024. Organisers also claim there are a record number of deals done at the show this year, and this makes sense as the quality of visitor profile allied to the fact people attended to 'buy v shop' due to changing buying behaviour and this aligns with this claim. So despite the drop in numbers broadly the show was a success!! While it is important to note this drop in attendance, it should not come as a huge surprise after 8 years, a global pandemic, and then huge volatility, inflation, energy price increases, geopolitical crises, skills shortages, marketing and buying change and fast-shifting demand. 2024 was always going to be a very different drupa compared with 2016. This is beyond the control of anyone, even the organisers! More observations from the FuturePrint team are outlined in link below https://lnkd.in/eufK9K6V Frazer Chesterman Karis Copp

Today, ADPA - Automotive Data Publishers Association and Automechanika Frankfurt have announced a new partnership to jointly strengthen further the #independent #automotive #aftermarket in Europe. Automechanika Frankfurt is one of the most important trade shows worldwide for the automotive aftermarket. As an international meeting place for the #industry, #dealership trade and #maintenance and #repair segment, it provides a major platform for #business and technological #knowledge transfer. It covers the full scale of products and services, from accessories and customising to tires and wheels, including #diagnostics and repair and many others. Building upon its international attendance, it is the flagship event for other Automechanika tradeshows worldwide. ADPA and Automechanika have agreed to promote each other towards their respective networks, in an effort to bringing together all relevant stakeholders of the independent aftermarket. This cooperation will be particularly strong during the Automechanika Frankfurt exhibition, scheduled from the 10th to the 14th of September 2024. Patrick Lo Pinto, ADPA Board Member in charge of Communications, said: "We are very proud to become a partner of Automechanika, one of the leading trade shows for the automotive aftermarket worldwide. It is a welcomed recognition of the primary and increasingly important work that ADPA and its Members are doing for the benefit of the wider automotive aftermarket and its #competitiveness." Olaf Mußhoff, Director of Automechanika, added: "ADPA Members are playing a key role in enabling the independent aftermarket by providing much needed technical information, without which it would be nearly impossible to service cars, especially the most recent ones. And ADPA is central when it comes to the defence of the rights of the #aftermarket. So welcoming ADPA in the big Automechanika family was a natural move." Pierre Thibaudat, ADPA Director General, concluded: "Together, we will be able to highlight even further how complex, lively and #innovative the automotive aftermarket is, and the interdependence between its different segments. This is a great step forwards for the cohesion and #solidarity in our fast fast-changing ecosystem." https://lnkd.in/dTbuYs8w

🔗 From Zero to Hero: Ein Meilenstein im automobilen Recycling! 🌍🚗 Ein herzliches Dankeschön an alle unsere Partner mit denen wir den Gemeinschaftsstand auf der IFAT Munich 2024 hatten. Gemeinsam haben wir das Potenzial aufgezeigt, qualitativ hochwertig aufbereitete Materialien in Fahrzeugkarosserien zu verwenden. Unsere Innovationen: #TSR40, #TSR130 und #TSR136 ermöglichen es uns definierte Recyclingprodukte aus Post-Consumer-Material herzustellen und dabei die hohen Qualitätsanforderungen der #Automobilindustrie zu erfüllen. Dieser Fortschritt reduziert nicht nur die CO2-Emissionen im Prozess, sondern verringert auch die Abhängigkeit von Primärrohstoffimporten. Wir freuen uns darauf, diesen Dialog mit weiteren branchenführenden und politischen Entscheidungsträgerinnen und Entscheidungsträgern fortzusetzen. #RecyclingInnovation #Nachhaltigkeit #Kreislaufwirtschaft #IFAT2024 IFAT worldwide
