Labelexpo Asia and PEIAC sign exclusive partnership

Labelexpo Global Series, the organizer of Labelexpo Asia, has strengthened its working partnership with the Printing Equipment Industries Association of China (PEIAC), which sees China’s leading print industry trade body working with the show on its next two editions in late 2017 and 2019.

Labelexpo Asia 2017 is on track to being 15 percent bigger than 2015’s edition

The agreement, signed during China Print 2017 on May 9, secures the long term future and continued growth of Labelexpo Asia by bringing together the market knowledge, expertise and resources of Labelexpo Global Series, which also organizes Labelexpo Europe and a number of summit events around the world, and PEIAC to deliver a world-class professional trade fair. 

James Samuel, Labelexpo Global Series events portfolio director, explained: ‘This is an extremely important alliance and we are delighted to be the only label industry event to be endorsed by PEIAC. By working more closely together, the partnership will be very instrumental in helping drive new visitors to the show, including offset converters looking to diversify into the lucrative label printing sector.

‘Adding further value and credibility to the Labelexpo Asia experience, our partnership seeks to make the Chinese label and package printing industry better, with an ongoing focus on the delivery of superior working practices and improved standards. We look forward to continuing this over the next two shows.’

Jean Lee, vice chairman of the label printing sub-association of PEIAC, commented: ‘In 2017, PEIAC hit two milestones in the label printing industry. As a member of The World Label Association (L9), PEIAC organized the Beijing Summit & Industry Forum of Label Printing for the very first time in China, and received overwhelmingly positive reviews and feedback from the industry. PEIAC has also confirmed its partnership with Labelexpo Asia, and we look forward to this win-win cooperation and helping each other to achieve a higher level of influence on the industry.’

Labelexpo Asia 2017 takes place December 5-8 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), and is on track to be 15 percent bigger than 2015’s edition, with over 350 exhibitors and  24,000 visitors expected to attend.
