From big-name regulars to hot-shot newcomers!

SENATOR, Promodoro Fashion, MACMA Werbeartikel/Easy Gifts, and Stanley and Stella: the famous names of the promotional merchandise market are set to return to PSI in 2015, further reinforcing the upward trend experienced by the Leading European Trade Fair of the Promotional Products Industry last year. “We’re happy to see so many key exhibitors interested in exhibiting again at PSI 2015”, says PSI Director Michael Freter. “The market needs a central platform enabling an international dialogue with spillover effects into other industries. That’s why the participation of the big names in the business is all the more important.” About 85% of available space has already been booked, approximately half of that by companies from outside Germany. Visitor ticket sales have also commenced successfully, as has an invitation campaign launched jointly by PSI and the exhibitors.

TEXTILE AREA
About 40% of PSI visitors are interested in promotional textile products. Consequently, the segment will be enhanced even further for PSI 2015, in part through the creation of a dedicated space: the TEXTILE AREA in Hall 10, which has been designed specifically to create new sales opportunities for small textile companies. A comprehensive package is available, which includes exhibition stand furnishings as well as a marketing package. The TEXTILE AREA will be combined with the CATWALK. Launched last year and sold out already, this runway features models presenting participating exhibitors’ products in a number of stage acts. It’s available to exhibitors interested in showcasing their products in an even more attention-getting way.
Further enhancing this space will be the TEXTILE FINISHING AREA, which focusses on textile finishing options. Charlie “Dr. Print” Taublieb will be among those moving from the Technology Forum to the TEXTILE FINISHING AREA, where he’ll present silk-screen printing processes at his very own “Charlie’s Corner”. Several additional live demonstrations covering textile finishing techniques and related topics will also be staged here.
It goes without saying that renowned providers of promotional textiles will also be populating the halls once again. So far, space has been booked by the likes of Floringo, Garland Bridge (Europe) Ltd t/a Moon Corperate Wear, Gustav Daiber, HAT’s Company, ID® REXHOLM, iMi Partner, New Wave, Promodoro Fashion, SOL’S SOLOINVEST, Sport Böckmann, Stanley and Stella, and Tee Jays.
 
Technology Forum
The Technology Forum in Hall 12 covers a wide range of topics related to promotional product branding. Exhibitors here hail from the promotional product printing and finishing segments. Mimaki Europe, NEOFLEX, Teca-Print, Wallburg and others will show off their equipment and technology innovations. The Technology Forum will once again be home to a Demonstration Area with several stations highlighting finishing and manufacturing processes.

GUSTO Pavilion
Feel free once again to indulge in tastings to your heart’s content: plans call for the GUSTO Pavilion in Hall 9 to return to PSI 2015. Two companies, drinks GmbH and Fröhlich GmbH, have already announced their participation. Here visitors will get a chance to try edible and drinkable promotional products using all their senses.
