Ferrel to speak at Fespa Asia

Cactus Imaging general manager Keith Ferrel will be one of the key speakers at the upcoming Fespa Asia Print Expo regional wide format show.

Taking place in Bangkok 21-23 February the show has a full speaker programme from 11am each day, with all presentations free to attend.

Ferrel will look at the emerging trends in the industry, with the aim of helping printers diversify their businesses, based on his own experience at Cactus Imaging.

Additional sessions during the week will cover signage and the corrugated industry in Southeast Asia, as well as business-focused seminars and workshops.

Cactus has been a pioneering company since Ferrell and Warwick Spicer founded the business in the 1996. They eventually sold to Opus, and then it was bought by oOh! Media two years ago for $6m.

Cactus has recently installed a new Durst textile printer and the country's first Fujifilm Acuity Ultra.

Ferrel has a long history with Fespa, he was inaugurated into the Fespa Hall of Fame in 2012, and won its World Printer of the Year award two years later.
