The first edition of Portugal Print was held in April 2012 at Pavilion 6 in Exponor, marking the beginning of what would become one of the most prominent trade shows in Portugal’s print industry. With 65 national and international exhibitors showcasing the latest technologies, the event attracted 5,211 professional visitors, a clear indicator of the strong demand for print and graphic technology in the country.
From this solid start, each subsequent edition of Portugal Print has witnessed impressive double-digit growth. This expansion is reflected not only in the increasing number of exhibitors and the size of the exhibition space but also in the growing number of both national and international visitors.
The event has evolved into a pivotal platform where professionals from the printing, packaging, and graphic arts industries can come together to discover new trends, network, and discuss business opportunities.
Portus, a key player in the sector, has been actively participating in the event since its inception. With each new edition, Portus continues to make significant investments in promoting the brands it represents, ensuring that visitors are exposed to the most innovative products and services available in the market.
In addition to promoting these brands, Portus has also been committed to offering exceptional after-sales services to its clients, a strategy that has contributed to its long-term success.
The return on investment for Portus has been considerable. Visitors to Portugal Print have come to recognize the company’s presence as a guarantee of cutting-edge technology and industry insights. The fair provides an excellent opportunity for Portus to generate quality leads, with many visitors coming specifically to explore the latest technological trends in the printing and graphic arts sectors.
Moreover, the event has proven to be a fruitful environment for closing deals, both during the show and in the weeks following the event, further cementing the value of participating in Portugal Print.
António Azevedo, Administrator of Portus, emphasizes that Portugal Print is not just about showcasing products but also about building long-lasting relationships with clients and partners. The opportunity to engage with both new and returning customers, as well as to close business deals in a focused, high-energy environment, makes Portugal Print a key event for Portus every year.
