The Wrap Institute is very happy about the new partnership with wetec and their participation at the 2023 trade fair. The aim is to convey the message “Never Stop Learning!™” on the German and European market. At its stand, the Wrap Institute will aim to provide informative and engaging demonstrations, practical hands-on workshops along with cutting competitions with attractive prizes for attendees to win. The aim of this package is to support professional growth in the wrap industry. 

Justin Pate, founder of the Wrap Institute, explains: “The demonstrations will cover a wide range of topics so there is something for everyone: Paint Protection Film (PPF) – wet and dry, commercial installations, interior decoration, state-of-the-art tools, design, production and sales. Every morning there is a practical workshop. Those interested in participating should register early. This is your chance to learn and get advice from our TWI trainers. During the event, myself and world-renowned installers and trainers will be present: Rainer Lorz, Dimas Brasil, Patrick Weiser, Maike Maurer and many more. We can’t wait to take part in wetec 2023 and look forward to meeting everyone at the show!”

Rainer Mackowiak, General Manager, Spandex Deutschland GmbH, reports: “We have always been very concerned with sustainability and are constantly trying to improve in this area. For example, we have changed the caps on our rolls of film from plastic to cardboard. In general, we have become more flexible after two years of cancellations and postponements. wetec is and remains the most important business platform for us. We have some new products in store for spring 2023 and look forward to reconnecting with the industry.”

wetec is also part of the EXPO 4.0 trade fair package. At this joint event with TecStyle Visions – Europe’s leading trade fair for textile decoration and promotion – and GiveADays – the advertising fair in the south – visitors will be able to enjoy a diverse agenda that extends across three exhibition halls. Nadine Dingert, Manager Exhibitions and Events at Messe Stuttgart, summarizes: “It’s about time that the industry gets together again in Stuttgart. We want to give visitors to wetec a unique experience. This is why we are constantly perfecting existing formats and embracing new ideas and collaborations. We are delighted to be able to integrate exciting new exhibitors alongside our regular participants. We will continue to work tirelessly on the agenda and finalize the range of exhibits in the coming months.”

As you can see, May was a special month for The Wrap Institute. We started the month off with our hugely successful Never Stop Learning!™ contest and The Wrap Experience area at the ISA Sign Expo in Atlanta.  It was a very special show on many levels and we can’t wait to do it again next year.  We hope you can join us in Las Vegas.

We are now ending the month and beginning June with two more shows - FESPA Berlin and Wrapscon 2022. FESPA Berlin starts today and I’m literally about to head out to it!  We have a booth filled with amazing sponsors and the demos this year will be with Rainer, Dimas, Patrick Weiser and Eddy Speelman. For Wrapscon, since I am here in Berlin judging the World Wrap Masters, Miller Decals will be running our booth.   At the show we will be debuting The Wrap Gym, we will have our second annual Wrap Warrior Cutting Contest and also have 4 live demos a day.  

To say that May is one of the highlights of The Wrap Institute as a company is an understatement. 3 big booths at 3 major sign shows in 3 different cities within 30 days.  For me, it's a testament to the support of you members all these years believing in our Never Stop Learning!™ vision and our neutral, no hidden agenda content.  It’s also thanks to my great team both behind and in front of the scenes that put out the high quality, professional education that is our cornerstone.  

With that all said, for June, look out for an on point 12 part series on wrapping a Tesla, interior film videos and PPF videos.  We will also be announcing exciting new partnerships and programs which will take your membership to another level.  
With that, I have to go get some breakfast and head out to the show.  
Have a great June and I hope to see some of you great TWI members at the show in Berlin.

Cheers
J
