The AIE is organized by Guangdong Grandeur International Exhibition Group Co., Ltd., an experienced trade fair organizer that has successfully developed B2B platforms across high-growth industries for many years. More than just a product showcase, the Asia Ink Expo positions itself as a comprehensive industry event that brings together five core components: product exhibitions, topic-specific forums, targeted business matchmaking, hands-on live demonstrations, and the presentation of new market opportunities and business models – all with a clear focus on the evolving needs and challenges of the global printing industry.

The trade fair emphasizes technological advancement combined with environmental responsibility. A key focus is placed on sustainable printing solutions and eco-friendly ink technologies. Visitors can experience pioneering innovations such as VOC-reduced or water-based printing inks, advanced UV inks, as well as low-emission additives and auxiliaries that offer both ecological and economic benefits. The goal is to provide tangible answers to the growing demands for sustainability, energy efficiency, and health protection within the printing sector.

The AIE showcases a wide range of products – from traditional offset, flexographic, gravure, and screen printing inks to specialized raw materials such as pigments, resins, and solvents, as well as machinery, dosing systems, and production equipment for ink manufacturing. The offering is further complemented by technical services and industry-specific consumables. Particularly noteworthy are the live demonstrations of current printing processes and the expert-led forums discussing future trends and industry challenges.

The expo serves as a central meeting point for key players in the global industry – including ink manufacturers, distributors, print service providers, brand owners, R&D professionals, and decision-makers from both the industrial and commercial sectors. For international companies aiming to enter the Asian market or expand their presence in the region, the Asia Ink Expo represents a strategically important platform.
