Following the promotional campaign at VietAd 2026 in Vietnam, the DPES overseas promotion team continued its outreach across Southeast Asia, recently traveling to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to participate in the 16th IPMEX Malaysia. The team promoted DPES CHINA 2027 to professional buyers from Malaysia and neighboring ASEAN countries, while strengthening connections with printing, signage, textile and related industries across the region.

On-Site Promotion

During the show, the DPES team welcomed many international visitors at its booth while also visiting exhibitors across the exhibition halls. The team engaged in in-depth discussions with representatives of advertising equipment manufacturers, signage solution providers, printing companies and distributors from Malaysia, Singapore and other Southeast Asian markets.

The team introduced the hall layout and highlights of DPES CHINA 2027, distributed show brochures and warmly invited international industry professionals to visit Guangzhou in February 2027. After learning more about the scale and broad industry coverage of DPES CHINA, many visitors showed strong interest in the event and decided to include DPES CHINA 2027 in their business travel and sourcing plans for next year, looking forward to meeting Chinese manufacturers and exploring new cooperation opportunities in Guangzhou.

Buyer Insights

Local industry representatives noted that as competition continues to intensify, printing companies are placing greater emphasis on production efficiency and service capabilities. Equipment stability, application versatility, technological upgrades and reliable supply-chain support are becoming increasingly important factors when selecting suppliers.

At the same time, solutions that can serve multiple applications and respond flexibly to changing market requirements are gaining attention, creating new opportunities for technology providers and manufacturers with broader product portfolios.

Global Outreach Continues, Connecting Chinese Manufacturing with the World

Southeast Asia has long been an important source of professional buyers for DPES. Moving forward, the DPES team will continue its global outreach through on-site promotion at international exhibitions, cooperation with industry associations, international media campaigns and social media marketing.

By connecting with qualified buyers in key overseas markets, DPES aims to build stronger international business bridges for exhibitors and help Chinese signage, digital printing and related brands expand their presence in global markets.
