“drupa is an important industry event for Canon, and it’s been great to return to the show after an eight-year break. The 2024 event has been particularly impactful and impressive, with vendors able to show innovations that have been developed over almost a decade. For those wishing to accelerate their digital print journey, we have been able to share a glimpse into the exciting possibilities that lie ahead. Through real-life case studies and collaborations with forward-thinking businesses, we’ve demonstrated print’s power to captivate and drive change – now more than ever before. Together with customers and partners, Canon is innovating and helping to shape the future of our industry, from solutions, to diversity of applications to high-volume personalisation. For me, drupa is an important meeting point and a wonderful showcase of the versatility of print. It allows visitors from all over the globe to harness our expertise in technology and business innovation, enabling people and businesses to grow and prosper. With the influx of visitors on Canon’s stand, first results show that new contacts created, and contracts signed exceeded expectations.”
“Digitalization has fully arrived in the printing industry – not to replace traditional methods, but to offer automated production processes through hybrid systems “on demand” and to complement existing technologies. We are thrilled with the response from the high-quality professional audience and say thank you, drupa. We will see you again in Düsseldorf in four years.”
“Eight years is a long time so we didn’t exactly know what to expect. drupa turned out to (re)claim the pole position in bringing the printing industry together on a global level. For Xeikon this global function is vital to attract new customers. Running a drupa is like running a marathon, it takes strict preparation, clear goal setting, smart execution and the result will be a lifetime memory.”
“Participation in this year’s drupa was extremely valuable for our company. Not only were we able to generate good leads, but we also successfully closed deals. We were particularly pleased that topics such as sustainability and connectivity were strongly emphasized.”
“Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is very pleased with its showing at the drupa trade fair in Düsseldorf. Our stand attracted a great deal of interest from customers around the world, who also invested in the innovations on display. Our drupa team won over customers with a fabulous stand and future-proof innovations. The positive spirit among customers and staff alike was simply mind-blowing. Heidelberg is a true partner of the printing and packaging industry. The large number of orders placed across all technologies during the trade show emphasizes our customers’ trust in the company as a leading system provider. We offer the entire spectrum – from toner to inkjet and from offset to flexo printing – all controlled from a common Prinect workflow.”
“After an eight-year break, it was a pleasure for us to exhibit at drupa again and gain valuable experience. We received confirmation that our focus on sustainability and collaboration along the entire value chain is the right approach. We were particularly pleased with the positive atmosphere and the opportunity to discuss industry issues face-to-face.”
“drupa was an excellent opportunity for Kodak to demonstrate its commitment to innovation across its complete portfolio of both offset and digital solutions. Printers who visited the Kodak booth learnt how Kodak can help make their business more efficient and profitable in today’s era of print. Kodak is able to serve their customers comprehensively in both innovative digital technology and modern, highly automated solutions for traditional offset. As a result, we have achieved strong sales for our digital and traditional portfolio during the show.”
“After eight long years, drupa has been a perfect platform to meet customers, partners, journalists and analysts as well as friends and help customers to see the potential in print, packaging and the unstoppable digital transformation of our industry. drupa has certainly met and exceeded our expectations. Our must-see stand was extremely busy every day – and the feedback from our customers and partners has been fantastic. Visitors told us that our stand – covering world firsts in software and machine demonstrations, complete print factory set-ups, as well as advanced Industry 5.0 and AI advances – was inspiring and holistic. The icing on the cake was that we have had an unprecedented number of show sales, plus new business leads that we know will lead to more customer announcement stories soon. We look forward to drupa 2028.”
“drupa is the heartbeat of the industry. For Landa, the show came at a perfect time to demonstrate the value of our systems, their amazing print quality, colour fidelity and productivity – as well as the ability to share the growth and success of our customer base around the world. This has been an amazing show for us. I have to say that witnessing the enthusiasm and excitement of visitors – representing businesses of all sizes – while watching a B1 digital press running live, was a great reminder of the immense transformation we are delivering to the market. drupa has always been a landmark event for the industry, and drupa 2024 was certainly one to remember.”

Exciting discussions about future business opportunities have laid a solid foundation for our continued innovation and growth.”
“After an eight-year break, drupa remains an invaluable part of Mimaki’s sales strategy as attendees look to this global event to offer the latest innovations to digitalise workflows and diversify applications. Pleased to see that both sustainability and social responsibility were also at the forefront of conversations, as seen on exhibitor’s booths and across the stages like drupa cube and drupa dna. Being an international show, this is an incredibly important platform to further these conversations about the future of our industry.”
“We are very pleased with how the show went. Our booth was very well attended and we not only generated many leads, but also closed good sales deals on site. At drupa we have closely followed the growing interest in digital sheetfed printing, as we now offer a convincing finishing application with the combined Muller Martini/Hunkeler solution Sheetfolder/Vareo PRO.”
