PAPERWORLD
Paperworld 2016
What to see at Paperworld 2-16
Last year, 1,636 exhibitors from 60
countries presented their stationery
and office products to 39,287 visitors
from around the world, including
buyers from the wholesale, retail and
specialist trade, online and mail order
businesses and end users.
Alongside the exhibition, there was
an extensive programme of special
shows, lectures and seminars, providing
delegates with inspiration and sector
know-how.
Paperworld 2016 Director Michael
Reichhold will be repeating the formula
this year. “In 2016, we will once again
offer an attractive programme of
highlights and training events. In the
heart of the business, Paperworld is
a source of information, inspiration
and professional enrichment for all
participants, whether exhibitors,
wholesalers, retailers, buyers or trade
association representatives,” he said.
For office products buyers, Hall 3.0
is the place to go. There you will find
writing pads, paper, envelopes, films,
labels, book calendars and organisers
from leading suppliers including ACCO
Brands, AF International, Exacompta-
Clairefontaine and Pukka Pads to name
just a few.
The Trend Show is also worth a visit,
especially for office products retailers
and suppliers. Located in the walkway
between Hall 5.1 and Hall 6.1, this
display highlights key trends in the
international paper, office supplies
and stationery industries, providing
inspiration for shop displays and
catalogues.
Another attraction is the Remanexpo
show-within-a-show, the largest
European trade fair for remanufactured
printer consumables and printer
accessories, which returns to Hall 6.0.
New features this year include a free
business matchmaking service that
brings together the demand and supply
sides of the industry; and a Business
Lounge with exclusive office facilities
that can be used by companies that
don’t have an exhibition stand to present
their products.
Quality time with customers
Leading printer cartridge remanufacturer
DCI/Jet Tec will be greeting visitors at its
business lounge (welcome desk E28). The
company has exhibited at Paperworld
several times, but this year they are
adopting a more customer-focused
approach and the business lounge will
enable them to spend more one-on-one
time with international clientele.
Sales manager Michael Rothenmacher
said: “We have always viewed Paperworld
as an invaluable platform, providing us
with the opportunity to speak with our
international distributors, as well as any
prospective customers. This year, we are
looking forward to meeting everyone and
being able to talk about our products and
services in more depth.”
Handy for mobile devices
AF International, a manufacturer of
specialist PC, office equipment and
touchscreen cleaning solutions, will be
demonstrating technology cleaning
products including the new, improved
Sprayduster Zero.
Launched at Paperworld 2015 and
designed for the safe removal of dust and
airborne contamination from delicate or
inaccessible areas of electrical equipment,
Sprayduster Zero has been improved with
increased pressure and a longer life.
AF will also be showing new cleaning
solutions including cleaning wipes for
mobile technology; a handy pack of 25
alcohol-free cleaning wipes and tablet
polishing cloths; and a pack of three soft
cleaning cloths for tablets.
Julia Vorley, Group Marketing Manager,
said: “We are a global brand and market
leader in the field of computer cleaning
products and are excited about the new
additions to our range. The current trend
for increased usage of mobile technology
demands handy and effective cleaning
solutions and our new products fit the
bill perfectly.”

for the paper, office supplies and stationery sector, takes place from
January 30-February 2 in Frankfurt, Germany. Tayla Ansell picks out
some of the best new products on display.
