After the resounding success of its inaugural edition in 2025, Screen Print Innovations (SPI) will return to Messe Essen, Hall 8, on June 15-17, 2027. Organised by the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association (ESMA), SPI has already secured its place as the homecoming event for the global screen-printing community.
The first edition in 2025 was met with outstanding feedback, proving that screen printing is not only alive but thriving – particularly in industrial and functional applications. Professionals from 50 countries came together, making SPI a true family reunion of the screen-printing world. Exhibitors unanimously confirmed their participation for 2027, underscoring the event’s value and impact.
“Only a few exhibitions have truly stood out to me over the years – our first international appearance at FESPA in 2017, our debut in printed electronics at LOPEC in 2022, and now SPI 2025. Each of these events marked a turning point for INO and SPI was no exception,” said Blaz Mur from INO. “Screen printing has a new home base!” exclaimed Stefan Zäh from Pröll.
A buzzing premiere in 2025
Across three days, the exhibition floor was alive with innovation and business exchange. Exhibitors reported heavy booth traffic, with visitors arriving from across Europe and abroad, many with active projects and targeted questions in hand. The audience was highly focused, ranging from industry veterans and global suppliers to research centres, vocational schools, and future talent in screen-print education.
