A “federation of global screen, textile and digital printing trade associations”

Established in 1962, FESPA is a global trade association, consisting of 37 national associations, for the screen printing, digital printing and textile printing industries. Originally named the “Federation of European Screen Printers Associations”, FESPA is now known only by its acronym because of the development in digital technology.

FESPA has been championing the print community for over 60 years and brings to the industry events, exhibitions, conferences, resources, education and networking opportunities.

FESPA has diverse and vast experience with headquarters in the UK, offices in Turkey and Mexico and partners in South Africa and Brazil.

Reinvesting in the printing community

FESPA’s Profit for Purpose initiative reinvests in the printing community. Using revenue from FESPA events, the Profit for Purpose programme supports the global print industry to attain sustainable and profitable growth.

Revenue is reinvested into 4 principal areas:

  • To provide information and key industry insights
  • To advocate best practices and new developments
  • To provide networking opportunities
  • To help print companies grow and flourish

FESPA’s Profit for Purpose also helps with projects and programmes such as community initiatives, training schools and educational opportunities.

FESPA events

FESPA hosts an array of international events, exhibitions and conferences for the screen printing, digital printing and textile printing industries. Events include; FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo, Wrapfest and the flagship FESPA Eurasia. Held every year in Istanbul, featuring over 500 brands and 10,000 visitors, FESPA Eurasia is the leading exhibition for the print community.
