The show was scheduled for 16-26 June and will now be switched to 20-30 April 2021 at Messe Düsseldorf.

Drupa president Claus Bolza-Schünemann said: “A postponement of Drupa was unavoidable after the latest developments. The decision is therefore right and responsible. Many exhibitors start their logistical preparations middle of March – today’s announcement of the postponement enables all those affected to react now, reschedule and prepare for the event date in April 2021. The excitement for ’embrace the future’ remains undiminished – also in 2021.”
