Ipex 2010 – Selection of Exhibitor Quotes

Monday 31. May 2010 - David Pelling, Director, Adphos, Very impressed with the co-marketing opportunities for the smaller exhibitors for example, ‘reminders about the possibilities available to maximise marketing opportunities in the run up to the show."

Laurence Roberts, Ipex 2006 President & AGFA UK MD, comments: “There has been a real buzz at the show and having generated more than €25 million worldwide sales, we’re more than delighted. We’ve also noted a significant increase in the number of international visitors, in particular from Brazil, Africa and India. IIR has done a fantastic job in organising the event.”



John Gilmore, MD of Autobond, “This is my ninth Ipex and it has been the best show ever. We have taken orders from around the world – US, Australia, Germany, France, South Africa, Malta and, of course, the UK.”



PICON Council Member and joint managing director of Apex Digital Graphics, Bob Usher, said: “There has been an air of optimism amongst both visitors and exhibitors that has lead to a very successful IPEX. We already have orders for all of the Ryobi press equipment on the stand, and are taking away many excellent sales leads.”



Böttcher Systems, Stephen Hannon (MD UK): “Ipex provided a very good mix between overseas and UK visitors. We’ve had a phenomenal number of requests for product demonstrations and requests for quotes. We’ve received lots of interest on the back of the promotion of our product Mistral. The show will definitely have a positive impact on our business going forward.”



David Preskett, European Professional Print Director, Canon Europe, comments: “Canon came to Ipex 2010 with high hopes generated by the results of our latest industry survey, which reported a growing sense of optimism in the market. I’m delighted to say that those hopes have been more than fulfilled. Customers and prospects have come to the stand in droves to find out not only about our latest technology innovations, but, even more so, to gain inspiration for ways to grow their businesses and to make the leap to new revenue streams. As a result, our gallery of customer case studies and applications, and the services and support area of our stand have proved to be particularly popular. From a sales perspective too, it’s very clear that the industry is set for growth as people are looking to invest in the future of their businesses. Over the course of the show we’ve exceeded our targets, with 250 production and light production print engines sold, supported by strong solution sales, including Helix Production Workflow.



“As the newly appointed President of Ipex 2014, I’m also delighted for Ipex that the show has been such a success for all and I look forward to helping to replicate that success in 2014. It’s clear that Ipex is both a platform for showcasing the latest developments in all printing technologies and an international forum for visitors to network and share ideas, and the more we can encourage an international audience to visit the show, the more everyone – both visitors and exhibitors – will benefit.”

“An amazing show, we’ve done fantastically – selling almost all machines we’re displaying at Ipex and more.”



Daniel Vande Poel, CEO CP Bourg, “We’re delighted with the show, in particular with the increase in international visitors, notably from Asia. UK sales have exceeded expectations and we’re also very pleased with the number of serious inquiries from international distributors. It appears that Ipex has come just at the right time, with printers being ready to invest in the future of their business.”



Franziska Muller, Marketing Director, DirectSmile: “We are overwhelmed with the impact of the show. Interest in our portfolio has been fantastic, especially for our new e-commerce solution, DirectSmile Card & Gift Shop. Following demonstration of DirectSmile CrossMedia for the Ipex pre-show promotional campaign, interest in this solution has also been high. We are very pleased to have participated in this years show.”



Philip Easton, Director – Digital Printing Solutions, Domino is delighted with the level of interest the new addition to the Domino family has provoked at IPEX: “Visitor traffic on the stand was good and of a consistently high quality from the moment the show opened,” he reports. “We were particularly happy with the calibre of visitors, having clocked up many leads from decision makers expressing serious intent, which we look forward to following up in the weeks ahead. I have no doubt that we will secure sales as a direct result of our attendance at IPEX.”



Philip’s sentiments are echoed by Group Marketing Manager Sheila Richardson, who comments, “IPEX is traditionally an important show for Domino – the largest we attend in our home territory – and I’m happy to say that this year has been no exception. Particularly pleasing was the high number of overseas visitors, despite the peculiar challenges of air travel at the moment, and the fact that traffic did not drop off over the weekend. IPEX 2010 has been an excellent investment from our perspective.”



Dean Beckett, sales director at used machinery specialist DPM, said: “It’s been an excellent show for us from day one. To date we have sold Eur 1.65 million of equipment, moving 48 print units in sizes from B3 through to B1.”



Peter Jolly, Marketing Director at Duplo UK says: “Ipex 2010 has been the most successful show for Duplo ever with all machines sold from the stand. We’ve taken more than £2 million worth of orders during the show, more than double the amount we had taken one month after the show had finished last time around. This includes a single order of over £500,000 from the Synergie Group. We’ve also sold our first Alpha Saddle to the UK market.”



Hans Klarenbeek, European Sales Manager for Durst, was pleased to report that the company has had a very successful IPEX. He said: “Along with selling all four machines exhibited on our stand, our total sales have amounted to in excess of £2 million. Ipex has helped to demonstrate that our core values of productivity, quality, reliability and service attributed to all Durst machines, are also at the top of our customers’ priorities. We were also proud to be presented with an EDP award for ‘The best UV curable high end production printer’ for our Rho 1000 UV flatbed.”

Mike Smyth – X-Rite Sales Director UK, “Ipex 2010 has given us a great platform to launch our new products and in particular the opportunity to meet so many visitors from overseas. We received very good feedback from the visitors regarding the new version of our InkFormulation, the new PANTONE PLUS SERIES books as well as the PrintCheck and PressOptimizer software and the alpha version of the i1Profiler software.”



“IPEX is back to being a truly international show and we have benefitted from serious investors from all over the world coming to see our new SurePress L-4033A digital label press and our range of high-end commercial and packaging proofing Stylus Pro printers and media,” says Duncan Ferguson, Director of Pro-Graphics, Epson Europe.



Jef Stoffels – Director Corporate Marketing EskoArtwork, “Ipex gave us 2 surprises: the super weather and the super visitor numbers! We’ve been very pleased with the show and the number of international visitors we’ve met. Ipex has for sure regained strength and presented a great opportunity for EskoArtwork and Enfocus to reinforce our leading role in innovating the commercial printing, packaging and sign and display markets. More and more it’s becoming clear that workflow automation is a key element to a successful production business, and our customers and prospects continue to move in that direction with our solutions. Overall there was fantastic interest in the new software and hardware that we launched at Ipex, as well as an appreciation for the value they can bring to the enterprises.”



Chris Sears, sales and marketing manager, FFEI: “Exhibiting for the first time as FFEI, IPEX 2010 has been a tremendous success for us. With orders from Australia to Yemen, the show has far exceeded our expectations and has more than covered our investment. On the first day, we took our largest ever single order from a partner in China, Beijing Founder, for seventeen DL8500 CtP Machines, as well as the first ever order from our new UK reseller, Marlowe Graphic Systems. We were also very proud to welcome John Crosfield, the original founder of the business, and see him collect his Champions in Print award at the Ipex Opening Ceremony.”



Peter Morris, MD of Friedheim International, says:” Ipex has always been a very important show for Friedheim International, and this year’s event has been no exception! Overseas visitors have been plentiful and this fact has confirmed the status of Ipex as an international show, particularly for English-speaking visitors. All of our manufacturers have supported the show in terms of equipment and personnel, and this has proved very effective in terms of customer visits and sales concluded.”



Graham Leeson, European marketing manager, Fujifilm Graphic Systems Europe, comments, “Despite volcanic ash and airline strikes, we saw a record number of visitors to our stand and made a record number of sales. The star of the show has been the Jet Press 720, with close to 1,000 people attending the Jet Press presentations every day. There’s been an incredibly positive atmosphere throughout the show from exhibitors and visitors alike. This has definitely been our most successful Ipex to date.”



“If our feet didn’t hurt so much we would stay another week – the show’s been that good!” Ian Scott, UK, GMG UK



“Ipex 2010 has been a successful show for Goss International on a number of levels. We have enjoyed quality discussions with key customers as well as establishing many potentially useful connections. The resoundingly positive feedback to our first joint exhibit with Shanghai Electric has been an added bonus,” comments Eric Bell, Goss Marketing Manager EMEA. “We were also able to utilise the international reach of Ipex to good effect when announcing the imminent 100% acquisition of Goss International by Shanghai Electric, which was certainly one of the highlights of the show.”



George Clarke, president of Ipex 2010 and managing director of Heidelberg UK, says: “This show has been a huge success. It has been busy, had a real vibrancy and shown itself once again to be a truly international venue. Visitors have been informed, entertained and shown glimpses of the future. Suppliers with the right products have generated good sales. Ipex came at a fortunate time in the economic and investment cycle and it will be remembered as the Recovery Show, the most important Ipex ever for our industry.

“As a quoted company we have to be careful what we say but we are not disappointed and on the eve of the finish of the show the UK alone has taken orders for 140 printing units, including several orders for our new B1 press, the Speedmaster CX 102, and the new short delivery SM 52 Anicolor, but also CtP, workflow, finishing, consumables and services. We have promoted the ‘lean, green, productive machine’ concept and the commercial success has not been restricted to the UK or Europe but has been truly international with a particularly strong showing from the Far East.”



Richard de Boissezon, Worldwide Marketing Manager, HP Graphics Solutions Business comments: “Expectations exceeded! We are happy to announce that at Ipex 2010, HP surpassed its revenue and lead generation targets as of day five. We experienced strong demand for our entire graphic arts portfolio, with visitors coming from many faraway places. Ipex 2010 proves that digital printing is the mainstay. That’s a fact.”



Iberica AG’s, Massimiliano di Robilant, Director General

“Ipex has been better than expected, as well as finalising a deal on an existing machine, we’ve taken new orders for our Optima die cutting press from Mexico and Italy. Having equipment in full operation on the stand has drawn a lot of attention to our product, creating new prospects from the UK and internationally.”



Jörg Westphal, Head of Marketing and Sales, Sheetfed, at Illies Graphik: “The first 5 days of Ipex delivered over €750,000 of orders for Glunz & Jensen’s Inkjet Computer to Plate systems as the sales of the PlateWriter series passed 30 systems so far!”

It showcases a competitive digital offer with reliable and flexible, high quality solutions for transpromo, book and offset printing applications. The new products launched on the Impika stand have drawn great attention from visitors, competitors and the media alike and confirms our position as one of the main leaders in the inkjet printing industry. Significant business developments are under way and IMPIKA will shortly report on main sales”



Tony Hards Joint Managing Director Intelligent Finishing Systems: “It has been a tremendous show with a good selection of small medium and large printers coming the length and breadth of the country. I have only heard positive comments from customers. We have taken orders and have a lot of prospects to follow up afterwards. Our partners Komfi, Durselen and Perfecta have all had a good supply of leads too.”



Klaus Schmidt, KBA Marketing Director, Ipex 2010 has been much better than expected. We were quite pessimistic coming into the show considering the economic situation and the ash cloud so we were surprised by the number and quality of visitors especially from Russia, the Middle East and Far East. We certainly achieved our sales goal for the show and may possibly exceed it depending on some very important meetings and demonstrations taking place Monday afternoon and Tuesday.



We are very optimistic for the next Ipex. We have seen a mood change here since Print 09 in Chicago showing that Ipex still has a good place in the international calendar.”



Comments Marc Fischer, marketing manager for Kern: “Ipex has been very successful for the Kern Group and has proved itself as an important ‘place to be’ for anyone in this business.”



Chris Payne, Director and Vice President, Business to Business Marketing, Kodak: “Kodak came to Ipex 2010 to introduce a raft of innovative new products to help its customers grow their business. The response has been huge. The interest in the KODAK PROSPER 5000XL Press, KODAK NEXPRESS SE Class, KODAK Dimensional Printing, the KODAK TRILLIAN SP Plates and Kodak’s Print Practice Consultancy have clearly demonstrated the excitement in the industry. At Kodak’s K-Zone talk show, all live discussions with industry experts were highly attended and were posted online immediately.With Ipex, we have exceeded all our expectations. The stand’s innovative and virtual design attracted a lot of visitors and represented the perfect platform to further build our long-standing customer relationships and partnerships.”

Robert Flather – Managing Director Kolbus UK



Philip Dunn, European Marketing Manager, Komori International, ” In common with most exhibitors, we came to Ipex with modest expectations. For Komori, these have been considerably exceeded, especially by a heightened interest from printers who, we are sure, recognized that the considerable advancements in technology since they last invested in machinery could give them a lead over their competitors. Testimony to this – and to the international attendance at the show – are orders which have been received from countries as diverse as Holland, Sri Lanka, China, Nepal, and, of course, the UK.”



Olaf Lorenz, General Manager Production Printing Division, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH, “We are delighted by the response from the public and our visitors in regards to our presence at Ipex 2010.

Konica Minolta UK’s Pauline Brooks, Group Product Manager for the Production Print Divison UK says: “We came to Ipex with realistic expectations, but the show has exceeded all our projected goals. We sold two bizhub PRESS C8000 on the very first day and sales have continued throughout the show. The raft of orders we now have on the books is a terrific endorsement of the R&D investment that has gone into the new system. Its performance and specification have had our stand buzzing. We are delighted with what we’ve achieved at Ipex.”



LasermaxRoll Systems, William Carroll, President & CEO, “The show is very important, it has been worth the effort. Visitor traffic was at a high level throughout the show which was very satisfying.

Thomas Hauser, head of marketing and communications, manroland AG. “Ipex 2010 has been very successful for manroland and it has exceeded our expectations. We’ve had very strong press sales throughout the show and have a huge number of qualified leads to follow up. Ipex is now truly an international exhibition and we saw a big increase in visitors from every corner of the globe. Our stand and the decision to focus on applications and Value-Added Printing solutions was very well received by customers, with full houses for nearly all our 3D presentation sessions. Printers we spoke to expressed a genuine desire to understand how they can add greater value to their product portfolio and enhance their strategic relationships with their clients in the process.”



Marlowe Graphic Services managing director, Darren Eliot, said: “Our most successful IPEX ever! We have already taken orders that are five times the value of our investment in the show.

Luiz Ferreira, export manager for Brazilian wire binding manufacturer Miruna has said that its first Ipex will not be its last. “We didn’t expect the interest that we have received, it has been amazing.

M Partners joint managing director, Murray Lock, said: “We announced our new partnership with Mitsubishi at the very start of the show, and just haven’t stopped since! We have been able to meet with many existing Mitsubishi customers face to face here at the show, and explain to them directly our service and support plans.” The company’s existing GUK agency has also enjoyed a successful IPEX. “It has been a great pleasure for us to have so many pharmaceutical company’s take up our invitation and come to IPEX to discuss their folding and inserting needs. Overall it has been a huge success.”



Andreas Schillinger, UK MD, Muller Martini Limited, ” The large number of interested visitors we have welcomed during the show has made us cautiously optimistic that we are seeing a return to better conditions. We have had intense discussions about productivity improvements, faster make-ready capabilities and general flexibility of lines and this clealy has been driven by the continued fierce competitiveness of the industry and the emergence of the digital environment. Ipex has been a great show for us and the feel good factor was amplified by the bright summer conditions outside the halls. We hope this optimism will firmly establish itself in the post-show months and carry-through with the same momentum that we have gained with our show successes.”



Nipson, David Mooney (MD): “We’re incredibly impressed by the footfall. We’ve closed a lot of business that we didn’t expect. The quality of people has been very good, i.e. lots of printers wanting to invest. As good as any Ipex if not the best. We usually don’t sell products on the stand from companies who are not familiar with our brand but we’ve sold some machines.” (received an EDP award)



Tim Vermeire, Marketing & Communication, NSS “This has been the best exhibition since the launch of our Vit2Print software suite.

Let’s hope this allows us to break open the UK market.”



Bron Curley, Océ UK Managing Director, said: “Ipex has been a great success story for Océ, There has been more interest from customers and prospective customers than in the last two years.

The integration with Canon, which will create the strongest player in the industry, is also opening new doors to sales opportunities as we have very complementary products and technologies.”



Nicola Bisset, MD Optimus: “We are delighted with the international turnout, in particular from Australia, South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana. Instant Sales of MIS systems are unusual but we’ve taken orders for our new MIS System for digital and creative media companies called Optimus dash to printers from the UK, Nigeria and Ghana. UK turnout was equally great. This has been the best Ipex Optimus has attended. IIR has done a fantastic job.”

Tom Bowtell, General Manager, Proskills UK: “The first ever PrintIT! Finalists Awards Ceremony was held at Ipex back in 2006 and we were delighted to host our Fifth Annual Awards during Ipex 2010.

Wim Maes, Punch Graphix CEO, is satisfied with the Ipex 2010 results: “Ipex 2010 was the perfect platform to demonstrate our new innovations to printing professionals from around the world.

We have been thrilled with the quality of enquiries and have had 3 times more visitors to the stand in comparison to other trade shows we have attended.”

“We are very happy to review IPEX 2010 as a successful show. We had many visitors from the day one and achieved several machine orders! To be honest, we were not very hopeful for this IPEX since the volcano erupted just before the show and the recent economic crisis in Europe. It turned out that airports got back in normal very soon, and we saw many visitors not only from EU countries but also from Asia and the Middle East. We are very happy about the outcome and thank Ipex very much!” Takahiro Takeuchi Shinohara Shoji K.K.

Lee Whatmough, WRH Marketing UK MD: “For Ferag and WRH Marketing the Ipex 2010 show has arrived at the perfect time. Our customers and indeed the market are looking aggressively at new ways to provide printing and finishing facilities that will allow them to create new revenue streams. The equipment we have demonstrated on our stand has the ability to provide this for the Commercial, Newspaper and Direct mail sectors of our industry, and most importantly today is the that the cost of the equipment allows for a short return on investment time. It is clear apparent that the market is researching and gathering information to prepare themselves for investment when the economic situation will allow. We can only assume that this has contributed to the high level of interest on the Ferag/ WRH Marketing stand.”



“Xerox has sold in excess of 100 digital systems at the show.
