A strong focus at drupa 2016, which takes place May 31 to June 10 in Düsseldorf, Germany, will be the advances in industrial printing, such as packaging, glass, textile, ceramics, flooring, laminates, wood, wall covering, decorative and electronics, show officials say. 

“Packaging production and industrial printing applications are recognized today as growth markets," says Werner M. Dornscheidt, president and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf. "We must follow market changes and identify future trends to integrate them into our concept for the trade fair. For 65 years, drupa has always been at the forefront of technological innovations."
