Print East Africa is the only exhibition and conference in the region that is purely dedicated to the printing sector. Bringing together industry leaders and some of the largest global brands, it is the premier event of its type and an unrivalled platform for potential buyers, distributors and end-users. The event is in its fourth edition and used to be a part of Propak East Africa, a packaging, printing and plastics exhibition. However with this show outgrowing the venue in Kenya and no more space being available, it was decided to segment the whole event and run Print East Africa as its own dedicated exhibition. The East African market is going through a period of substantial and stable growth and offers huge potential to local and international companies. Kenya already has a diverse economy and has identified manufacturing as one of the key sectors to focus on towards achieving Vision 2030.
Print East Africa will focus on digital, offset, screen, textile and 3D printing, bringing new technologies into the market and helping grow and improve efficiency within the sector
