“We are very pleased with the results of all three events against the background of the economic situation in the fields of paper, office supplies and stationery, hobby and artists’ requisites and festive decorations”, said Detlef Braun, Member of the Executive Board of Messe Frankfurt.

This year saw an increase in the number of international buyers, most of them from East Europe “The fair has become significantly more international than in previous years. In particular, we noticed an increase in demand from East Europe. This year, Paperworld will once again do justice to its status as the world’s leading trade fair for the paper, office supplies and stationery sector”, said Dr Rüdiger Kress, Director, Artebene GmbH.

Recommendations made by the Sri Lanka Consulate General in Frankfurt Germany

Paper world, creative world, and Christmas world is an emerging market in Europe.

It presents enormous business opportunity for businesses in Sri Lankan in terms of presenting their creative and production capacity. It also gives an opportunity to Sri Lankan companies to meet with companies that are looking for prospective business partners in the east.

After the successful completion of Paperworld this year we encourage companies to make arrangements in advance to participate in next year’s event.
