Fujifilm Corporation has confirmed it will not participate at next year’s rearranged interpack and drupa exhibitions.

The latest instalments of interpack and drupa were due to take place this year in Düsseldorf, Germany but were rescheduled for February 25 – March 3 and 20-28 April next year, respectively

In confirming its decision, Fujifilm stated, ‘Due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, Fujifilm has made the decision to withdraw from these exhibitions, to prioritise the health and safety of our customers and employees. Instead of meeting face-to-face at these events, we look forward to connecting with our customers and partners via remote communications.

‘As our society moves to adjust to a ‘new normal’, remote communication and a more efficient way of working at manufacturing sites will become increasingly required in the printing industry.’
