Recently, Print Doors 2026 - the 62nd Kobundo New Year Machinery Exhibition came to a successful conclusion in Nagoya, Japan. As a well-known supplier of printing machinery and materials in the industry, Shanghai UPG Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "UPG Digital") was invited to participate in the exhibition and showcased its core products brilliantly. This participation is not only a key measure for UPG Digital to deepen cooperation with its partner Kobundo, but also holds great significance for Kobundo to enrich the exhibition's product matrix and expand the cooperation dimension with Chinese enterprises, as it is the second Chinese enterprise in the exhibition's history to participate. The two parties have joined hands to explore the Japanese market in depth, achieved fruitful results at the exhibition, and injected new vitality into the cooperation between the Chinese and Japanese printing industries.
This exhibition was hosted by Kobundo, an important partner of UPG Digital. It is a large-scale and influential professional exhibition in Japan's printing machinery and materials industry, attracting well-known Japanese manufacturers such as Duplo, Konica Minolta, and Fuji, as well as many industry peers to gather together to explore new trends and opportunities for industry development. As a key Chinese cooperative enterprise of Kobundo, UPG Digital's participation in the exhibition has received great attention and full support from Kobundo. Before the exhibition, the company was invited to attend Kobundo's annual exhibition reception, where Kobundo introduced its participating personnel to its core team and Japanese industry elites.
UPG Digital participated in the exhibition with an 18㎡ booth. Focusing on the needs of the Japanese market, it highlighted four kinds of products: desktop foil stamping machines, die-cutting machine, label printers, and inkjet printers, comprehensively demonstrating the company's technical strength and product advantages in the field of printing machinery and materials. Among them, the desktop foil stamping machine, with its innovative plate-free technology, and the die-cutting machine,with its efficient and precise operation performance, won wide attention and inquiries from Japanese customers on site and became popular exhibits at the booth. In addition, through this exhibition, UPG Digital not only got close access to the core needs of the Japanese market but also gained a clear insight into the direction of industry development. Feedback from the exhibition site shows that related products such as digital hot stamping, UV printing labels, and UV-DTF labels, as well as their extended applications, also have high promotion value and broad market space in the Japanese market.
This trip to Nagoya is an important step for UPG Digital to layout the Japanese market and a key opportunity to deepen cooperation with Kobundo. UPG Digital's participation has also provided important support for Kobundo to optimize the exhibition ecology and expand China-Japan cooperation channels. In the future, taking this exhibition as a starting point, UPG Digital will fully integrate the market information and customer resources gained from the exhibition, continuously optimize its product portfolio, improve service quality, strengthen cooperation and linkage with Kobundo and other Japanese manufacturers, deepen its presence in the Japanese market, and provide more targeted printing machinery and materials solutions for local customers. Based on the success of this exhibition, the two parties will continue to deepen cooperation and contribute to the coordinated development and win-win results of the Chinese and Japanese printing industries.
