Many of the 200-plus exhibitors reported record sales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs it has done time and time again, FESPA exceeded our expectations,\u201d says Ronald Van Den Broek, wide-format printer manufacturer Mimaki\u2019s general manager (GM) for sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). \u201cThis was our most successful edition ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been doing the show for five years now,\u201d says Emily Falconer, business development manager for Premier Textiles. \u201cEvery year gets better for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the third day, we had to reassess targets after outstanding sales across our portfolio,\u201d says Mark Lawn, director of Canon Europe\u2019s graphic and communications group, which introduced new wide-format printers at the expo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signmedia.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/FespaBears.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-32776 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.signmedia.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/FespaBears.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"245\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Beside such well-established industry players, there were nearly 100 first-time exhibitors on the show floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe came to this show to be discovered as an innovation,\u201d says Johan Bonner, director of Squid, which produces self-adhesive, transparent, woven fabrics that can be printed with a variety of techniques and applied directly onto windows or walls. \u201cParticipating provided the jump-off we needed to reach an international audience of customers, partners and distributors.
