Screen Print Innovations to Highlight Future Potential
Industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to converge, showcasing vast applications; keynote speakers to present groundbreaking advancements in screen printing for electronics, security printing, and green energy solutions
Screen printing remains the technology of choice for most industrial and high-tech applications. Automotive, printed electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), healthcare, luxury packaging, and textiles are examples of how screen printing has established itself as a reliable manufacturing solution.
Although mature, the process keeps on evolving and advancing in terms of precision, automation, and quality. At the same time, it keeps its promise of resource efficiency and adaptability both in terms of volume and sustainability requirements.
Exclusive Platform for Screen Printing Professionals
Screen Print Innovations (SPI) – the leading global event dedicated to screen printing – will be held at Messe Essen from 3-5 June, 2025. Organised by the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association (ESMA), SPI is an exclusive platform for screen printing professionals, unlike other trade shows where screen printing is a secondary focus. The event brings together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to exhibit cutting-edge advancements, showcasing the vast applications in the field from electronics and security printing to sustainable energy solutions.
Keynote Speakers Present Groundbreaking Advancements
Advanced Screen Printing for 5G/6G Antennas: Sebastian Gepp, Development Manager for Printed Electronics at KUNDISCH GmbH & Co. KG, will discuss how screen printing enables transparent conductive patterns essential for next generation 5G and 6G antennas. His session will highlight how this technology enhances connectivity and supports future telecommunications advancements.
Security Printing with ScreenX Raster Process: Jan Rother, Managing Director at FM Siebdruck Werbung Design GmbH, will explore the ScreenX raster process. This innovative technique integrates logos, characters, and symbols into raster dots, making security printing more tamper-resistant and difficult to replicate, benefiting security-critical applications.
Screen Printing for Fuel Cells & Electrolysers: Dr.-Ing. Eric Klemp, Head of Hydrogen and Additive Manufacturing at Whitecell Eisenhuth GmbH & Co. KG, will discuss how screen printing accelerates the production of fuel cells and electrolysers. His session will focus on its role in manufacturing bipolar plates with high conductivity and low permeability, advancing sustainable energy solutions.
Future of Screen Printing
The groundbreaking advancements presented by these keynote speakers at the SPI ‘Innovation Theatre’ highlight the transformative potential of screen printing across multiple industries. Industry professionals, researchers, and innovators are encouraged to attend these sessions to gain valuable insights into the latest technological trends. Registrations are free for all visitors.
Whether you plan to exhibit, to show your innovations to potential new customers, or learn what suppliers have to offer, SPI offers a solid platform for a community to reconnect and to focus on future growth. An adjacent presentation forum of screen technology users will feature keynote speeches from areas such as automotive, printed electronics, security print, plastics and glass decoration, among others.
