Laings cross Tasman to manage drupa

The world’s biggest trade show drupa will now be represented in Australia by Robert and Roslyn Laing and their company Messe Reps.

Messe hosts drupa – scheduled for June next year – and other major trade fairs, including the world’s biggest packaging show interpack, which next takes place six weeks before drupa. The Laings will be responsible for all Messe trade fairs. They will be based in Sydney.

They succeed Gabi Schwager and her company The Exhibition Coach, who decided to return to Germany after a year in Australia.

The Laings take over as the printing industry gears up for the next drupa, and the next interpack. The Messe will host interpack on 7-13 May, with drupa slated to take place 16-26 June.
