SPI, Screen Print Innovations Returns,15-17 June 2027, to Messe Essen
After the resounding success of its inaugural edition in 2025, Screen Print Innovations (SPI) will return to Messe Essen, Hall 8, on 15-17 June 2027. Organized by the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association (ESMA), SPI has already secured its place as the homecoming event for the global screen-printing community.
The first edition in 2025 was met with outstanding feedback, proving that screen printing is not only alive but thriving – particularly in industrial and functional applications. Professionals from 50 countries came together, making SPI a true family reunion of the screen-printing world. Exhibitors unanimously confirmed their participation for 2027, underscoring the event’s value and impact.
“Only a few exhibitions have truly stood out to me over the years – our first international appearance at FESPA in 2017, our debut in printed electronics at LOPEC in 2022, and now SPI 2025. Each of these events marked a turning point for INO and SPI was no exception,” said Blaž Mur from INO. “Screen printing has a new home base!” exclaimed Stefan Zäh from Pröll.
