Upex grows its foreign appeal via exhibitions

Upex is launching its new Upex Village concept at the Gulf Print exhibition in Dubai in September and has, for the first time, secured an official area at Northprint 2005.

"There's never been a dedicated area like this within Northprint for dealers," says Upex organiser Mike Steele.  

The branded area at the event, which is based in the central hall, will give secondhand dealers the option to exhibit equipment. 

Steele plans to use the close proximity of Leeds Bradford Airport in order to help Upex give an international flavour to the traditionally regional show. Upex is building on its international links by hosting its first village at Gulf Print at the end of next month.  

The Gulf Print exhibition is taking place on 19-22 September.
