Wednesday 13. May 2009 - FESPA Mexico 2009, taking place at the Centro Banamex, Mexico City* from 27th - 29th August 2009, is considered this years must-attend screen and digital printing event in the region, with already over 60% of exhibition space confirmed.
In the challenging economic climate, many of the regions leading manufacturers are choosing FESPA Mexico as the only 2009 event at which they will exhibit, testament to FESPAs market-leading reputation and proven track record of delivering high calibre shows.

Frazer Chesterman, Managing Director, FESPA comments: “We had excellent feedback from exhibitors and visitors following FESPA Mexico 2008, having successfully grown the event, which we bought from a third party, by 34%, and are firmly committed to building on that success. Feedback from the local print community confirms that printers believe they cannot afford to miss FESPA Mexico as the show to attend in 2009.”
Chesterman continues: “According to our World Wide Survey, Mexicans are the most optimistic about market growth when compared to Thailand and the rest of the world. There is great scope in both screen and digital in Mexico with growth expected at 7-10% in Latin America overall.”
