Rainer Kuhn, Managing Director for PrintCity confirmed, "Ipex has been an important event for our members ever since 2002, when the long term alliance was first promoted here. 2006 was a major stepping stone for us, and this year we have successfully launched our new concept for PrintCity international exhibitions here.

"Our nine members Leonhard Kurz, manroland, MEGTEC, Merck, Océ, Sappi, Tolerans, UPM and Weilburger Graphics have made multiple customer contacts at Ipex 2010 under the shared three themes PRINT: LEAN. GREEN. SEEN. This has been done in a in a most efficient way, focused on our 'connection of competence' networking and knowledge sharing with all visitors.

"Comments from these customers confirm that our Ipex show presence was very effective, including a central Value Added Printing & Packaging samples and case studies display – delivering a practical and flexible shared exhibition presence for everyone.

"We all have a very positive feeling about this years Ipex show, reflected also in the good show attendance data from the organisers."
