Drupa has a new president
Heidelberg chairman Bernhard Schreier has taken over from Martin Weickenmeier as president and chairman of the exhibitors’ advisory board of Drupa. The change comes because Weickenmeier, managing director of Körber PaperLink, is no longer available for the tasks required of the Drupa president due to the strategic reorientation of the paper segment of Koerber. Weickenmeier had been the head of the executive committee of Drupa since the last trade fair in 2008.
“I am delighted to accept the role of Drupa President at this particularly exciting and important time for our industry,” said Schreier. “Drupa 2012 is a really crucial initiator for the print media industry, and I will contribute significantly to the successful planning and organization of it.”
The next Drupa 2012 will take place in Düsseldorf from 3 to 16 May.
