Canon Communications Acquires Stamping-Days

Canon Communications LLC, the

leading producer of trade events, publications, and electronic media for

the ?2 trillion advanced, technology-based

manufacturing industry, today announced its acquisition of Stamping-Days

a biannual exhibition serving the high precision stamping technology

industry in Germany. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Canon also announced that it will move Stamping-Days from its current

location in Pforzheim to nearby Karlsruhe, and co-locate it with the

company´s InterPart

Surfacts, and MediPart trade fairs from 26-28 May 2009. Only minutes

away from its previous venue, Messe Karlsruhe is strategically

positioned in the heart of the Black Forest region and is served

directly by major autobahns, ICE trains and French TGV train routes.

This new location also removes previous space restrictions on exhibition

size and allows visitors from Germany, Switzerland, and nearby France

easy access to the expanded event.
A major added bonus for Stamping-Days exhibitors and visitors is the

co-location with InterPart"“southern

Germany´s leading high-precision parts

exhibition for the automotive and machine construction industries. Now

visitors to both trade fairs will have complimentary access to 500 of

the leading suppliers for stamping technologies, precision parts, and

sub-contracting services. Exhibitors will enjoy the benefit of meeting

buyers and specifiers from across the entire stamping and precision

metals process chain.
"We are very excited about the addition of

Stamping-Days to the Canon family of advanced manufacturing exhibitions," commented Mark Temple-Smith, Canon´s Event

Director for Europe and Asia. "We are best

known internationally for our ability to consistently deliver quality

visitors to our exhibitors. Canon visitor promotions are intensive and

highly effective in delivering strong, positive results to our

customers. Through the co-location of the premier high technology

stamping exhibition with InterPart, MediPart and Surfacts, Southern

Germany´s leading precision parts and surface

technology event will be a very attractive model to key decision-makers

in the region´s automotive, machine

construction, watch making, electronics and medical device industries."
Stamping-Days founder Urlich Brosz said, "I

developed the Stamping-Days exhibition in 2003 as the regional showcase

of high-technology stamping technology serving the automotive

electronic and allied industries. The exhibition has been a great

success and has now outgrown the Pforzheim venue. Stamping-Days is

ready to expand to the next level, and the co-location with InterPart

MediPart and Surfacts can only make the experience more rewarding for

exhibitors and visitors alike. I am now looking forward to working with

one of the world´s leading exhibition

organisers in the advanced manufacturing sector to grow Stamping-Days

into the leading international event in its new venue."
