The Turkish exposition was the largest in recent years, exceeding the indicators of the pre-covid year of 2019, with 24 companies from Turkey presenting their equipment and solutions. The exhibitors of Printech 2021 listed almost all world leaders of the printing industry: Heidelberg, Canon, Epson, Konica Minolta, EUROPAPIR, Xerox, Ricoh, and other companies. Thanks to the face-to-face format, many exhibitors had the opportunity to demonstrate their equipment in action and, as a result, sell exhibition samples directly from the stands.
