In a huge vote of confidence for drupa 2024, Fujifilm has announced that it has booked a 20% larger stand at drupa 2024 to accommodate its much-expanded digital production portfolio. A quick look at FESPA Amsterdam (March) expo stands and drupa (May/June), shows many wideformat suppliers having larger presence at drupa, but Fujifilm's +400 sqm is a huge boost to the Düsseldorf event.

Having originally booked a 2,020m2 stand in hall 8b, the same size and position as in 2016, Fujifilm agreed with the event organisers to move to a new location within the same hall in order to be able to add an additional 400m2 of stand space.
Taku Ueno, Senior Vice President, Graphic Communications Division, FUJIFILM Europe GmbH, says: “The last few years have seen a real transformation in Fujifilm’s product portfolio across all market sectors, and what better time and place than the world’s biggest global print exhibition (returning after an eight-year hiatus) to showcase these recent developments, together in one place for the first time.
“Since 2021, we have seen the complete redesign and relaunch of our Acuity range of wide format printers, the expansion of our analogue packaging portfolio, along with the launch of our first digital flexible packaging press, and of course the introduction of a large and growing range of toner presses for the commercial print market.

“The expansion of our range of digital presses for commercial applications is particularly significant. With the launch of our Revoria Press and ApeosPro ranges, combined with the industry-leading Jet Press 750S High Speed Model, we now have a full range of inkjet and toner solutions to offer the best of both worlds to any commercial print business, whatever the demands of their customers.
“And we’re still just getting started. We’ve just announced two new digital presses, the Revoria Press EC1100 and the Revoria Press SC170/180, which we showcased simultaneously at Sign & Print in Sweden, C!Print in Spain and The Print Show in the UK, and there will be other significant announcements relating to our toner portfolio leading up to, and during, drupa 2024.”
“As well as the huge number of new digital solutions, Fujifilm also remains a global leader in the manufacture and supply of technologies and consumables for analogue applications, whether that is offset, flexo or screen printing.”
“drupa 2024 represents the perfect opportunity for Fujifilm to combine all these solutions in one place, and to come together with our growing range of leading partners from across the industry, to showcase world-class pre-press, print and finishing solutions designed to give our customers a competitive edge.”
“Altogether, this all adds up to a lot to talk about and a lot of stand space needed. We’re hugely excited about the exhibition, and look forward to the opportunity to demonstrate how Fujifilm’s expanded portfolio, in conjunction with our industry-leading partners, can help print businesses across all sectors,” says Ueno.
