LONDON—March 7, 2013—Patrick Chapuis, head of Production Printing Group, Canon Europe, released the following statement today regarding Canon Europe's withdrawal from the Ipex 2014 show:

“After careful consideration of our position, Canon Europe is announcing its withdrawal from Ipex 2014.

“This has not been an easy decision to make as we have previously had two successful shows at Ipex. However, just as we have encouraged our customers to ‘see the bigger picture’, we have had to look at our own bigger picture. This has involved a continuous assessment of the ways in which we communicate with our customers.
