"Fespa Brasil has been an exceptional launch, surpassing all our expectations in terms of visitor numbers for a launch show," said Fespa managing director Neil Felton. "The feedback from exhibitors in terms of stand sales and business leads has been incredible."

As with all Fespa events the Wrap Cup Masters Series, sponsored by 3M was held at Fespa Brasil. Jefferson Pimenta from Pimenta’s Adesivos won the Brazilian leg of the challenge and will compete with other heats winners from Europe, Mexico and the USA for the spot of global champion at Fespa London this June.

The show was co-located with ExpoPrint digital and organised in partnership with APS Feiras & Eventos.

"Testament to the success of our first show has been the fact that the majority of exhibitors signed up for 2015 before they packed up their stand on the final day," said Felton.
