• Up to eight newcomers will be on display at the PSI 2015
• For the sixth time promoted by The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy
Special finishing techniques, promotional calendars, design items or high-grade protective display foils: There is considerable potential for developments and innovations in the promotional products world. Young companies, who would like to present their innovative and new products from 7 to 9 of January 2015 in Düsseldorf, will be in the right place at the PSI Forum for Young Innovative Companies. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) covers up to 70 per cent of the costs for the stand which thus enables start-ups, in particular, to have their own stand. The PSI is the only German promotional products trade fair that will be promoted by the BMWi. Eight start-ups were able to apply for a grant for 2015. Four of the participating companies are listed below.
The Forum for Young Innovative Companies is located in Hall 12 and will once again be promoted, for the sixth time, by the BMWi. Amongst the supported newcomers is also MSW Lasertechnik GmbH from Rappenau. “Especially for all PSI members, we have developed a highly precise 360° rotating device with which all cylindrical promotional articles, from ballpoint pens to thermos flasks, can be engraved seamlessly. Mass-produced engravings with logos as well as engravings of individual names can be easily handled by the software adapted for the promotional products market. Even engravings inside rings are possible with this rotating device.” MSW Lasertechnik uses the Forum for Young Innovative Companies both as a presentation area for novelties as well as a sales platform.
Prinopa GmbH from Detmold is also present at the special display area. “As a young company, we have specialised from the outset on the production of sticky note products. Virtually all products on offer from us are produced and finished in-house. In this way we achieve a high quality standard and ensure a uniform product quality”, says Wilhelm Siemens, Managing Director of Prinopa GmbH. “With the aid of the grant from the BMWi, we are pleased to be able to present our range of products to a wide-ranging and qualified audience at the Forum for Young Innovative Companies . For the PSI Fair 2015, we present a large range of our best sellers and product sets as well as, of course, exciting novelties. For the PSI FIRST campaign, we have developed a surprising innovation from the promotional calendars category. We have understood the challenges of the industry here and have developed an innovative solution. You will be surprised. We look forward to the feedback as well as the supplementary and further ideas from visitors to the fair.”
schönpfeffer-invocem e.K. from Hallbergmoos in Bavaria specialises on manufacturing quality promotional products. The company has specialised on art and design objects that consist of high-grade materials which are still affordable. Their artisan production takes place in Germany. The picture frames, cast stones, candlesticks, sculptures and much more are defined by individuality, quality and expressiveness. Every item that leaves the manufacturing facility has been built by the company.
The company Werbemittel-Händlerservice has its registered offices in Willich. Amongst the major innovations that the company will display at the Forum for Young Innovative Companies during the PSI are the “DisplaySave” protective display foils with lasered logo. “Up to now, these foils were only available without or with a printed design”, says Frank Trimborn, Managing Director of Werbemittel-Händlerservice. “Up to now, protective display foils were only available in retail outlets and through mail order; through subtle lasering we can now also offer these articles to the promotional products industry with logos.” The high quality protective display foils consist of recyclable PE material and are already available in quantities of 25 pieces. In the standard qualities, non-reflective, matt or glossy, these foils are suitable for all current smartphones. Werbemittel-Händlerservice is one of the newcomers at the PSI. “After starting our business in September 2013, we will be attending the PSI Fair 2015 in Düsseldorf as an exhibitor for the first time and, by means of our participation, we want to make our range of products available to a wide-ranging audience; this is because we are always on the lookout for new ideas and trends for our customers (we only deliver to resellers) in the microfibre product and mobile accessories (core range) sectors.”
