From 3-5 June 2025 at Messe Essen, print system developers, ink and other consumables producers, integrators, distributors, value-added resellers, print manufacturers, and product owners will converge at the inaugural Screen Print Innovations (SPI).

Peter Buttiens, CEO of ESMA (the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association), said: “Although seasoned, screen and pad printing keep on evolving and advancing in terms of precision, automation and quality.

“Applications across different market segments drive continual innovation. The key is disseminating that innovation.

“We build on the experience of our members and know-how accumulated in over 30 years of our service to the industry. Together we have recognised the need for a format which will present the latest developments and discuss the power of expanding, adapting or combining for specific market requirements.”

Oliver P. Kuhrt, CEO of Messe Essen, added: “The event is pursuing ambitious goals with which we at Messe Essen fully identify. We are convinced that Essen is the ideal location for SPI and that it will develop excellently with us.”
