German press manufacturer Heidelberg has told Ipex show organizers that it does not intend to exhibit at the 2014 event in London.
“We are very disappointed in Heidelberg’s decision to withdraw from Ipex 2014 – one of the industry’s major global events,” said Trevor Crawford, Event Director. “Heidelberg has long been synonymous with printing and has a long association with Ipex. As organizers of a range of exhibitions around the world, we will continue to have an ongoing dialogue with them.”
A quadrennial show, IPEX 2014 marks the first time in 30 years the show will be held in London. Previous years saw the show held in Birmingham.
Earlier this summer saw HP announce it does not intend to exhibit at the show, despite having the largest presence during IPEX 2010.
The show organizers, Informa Exhibitions, state that of the top 33 key exhibitors for the show 29 have increased their floorspace in relation to 2010. Companies who have already made their commitment to the show include: Canon, CMC, Duplo, EFI, Epson, Fujifilm, Hans Gronhi, Horizon, Hunkeler, Impika, Kern, Kodak, Komori, Konica Minolta, Muller Martini, Pitney Bowes, Presstek, Screen, W&D, Xeikon and Xerox.
