On October 16, 2007, the 21st International exhibition of printing equipment, technologies, materials and services PolygraphInter-2007, organized by MVK International Exhibition Company, started its work at Crocus Expo Exhibition Centre, MVK's press office reported. This year the exhibition is organized for the 21st time, and it has become the event reflecting the development of Russian polygraphic industry. According to one of the opening ceremony participants, "only 15-20 years ago the polygraphic industry in Russia was regressing. The publishing houses received the orders but they had to print them on the low-quality paper and awful presses. But 20 years later the situation changed and these changes we observe now at the exhibition PolygraphInter-2007".

This year more than 500 companies from 26 countries of the world take part in the exhibition. All the world brands and leaders of polygraphic industry are represented here. This year alongside with the Polygraphinter exhibition there are held two more specialized exhibitions: PackCarton and PapExpo. Uniting of these specialized exhibitions is aimed at improving the results of cooperation between printers, paper manufacturers and packers. This will also let the guests get the answers to all their questions.

Michael Seslavinsky, Head of Federal Agency for Print and Mass Media, emphasized that nowadays printing business is blooming in Russia, and the enterprises are in the beginning of important structural reorganizations. Moreover, in conditions of severe competition polygraphic enterprises have to trace all the innovations and new products at the polygraphic market. Thus, the exhibition provides the opportunities to share new ideas.

Petr Peredery, Deputy Head of the Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Energy, highlighted that polygraphic industry in Russia is blooming and developing. It is necessary to take the most of profit from Russian paper and cardboard manufacturing resources. To achieve these goals Federal state target programs oriented at wood industry development are launched. Thus, Russian polygraphic industry and all the companies working in it have all the necessary qualities to cooperate and work successfully.
