All 17 halls with 1.7 million sq ft of display space have sold out for DRUPA 2004, the combined print-media, converting and package-printing trade fair set for May 6-19, 2004, at the Fairgrounds in Dusseldorf, Germany.

"The result shows the global printing sector's clear vote for DRUPA during these difficult economic times," says Horst Klosterkemper, managing director of show organizer Messe Dusseldorf.

A highlight of DRUPA 2004 will again be PrintCity—an alliance of companies headed by MAN Roland and Agfa Gavaert—in Hall 6. Pressmaker Heidelberg and its cooperating partners will showcase their equipment in Halls 1 and 2, while Halls 15 and 16 will be the locale for press providers KBA Planeta, Komori and Mitsubishi.
