EDP AWARDS
Best developments awarded since 2007

One of the EDP Association’s goals is to assist the technology appliers in their task to find the right solution for their applications. Because not every high tech product eventually meets the requirements in a demanding production environment. Since 2007 EDP has evaluated and honored the best developments in digital production tools. Over the years more than 260 trophies were awarded to the best technologies and developments.

At May 10th, during Fespa in Hamburg, the EDP Association celebrated the Winners of their 11th EDP Awards. With this Awards EDP honours the best developments in software, print production solutions, finishing systems and consumables. Out of more than 150 entries finally 31 products were awarded with a ›Best of Trophy‹ in their category.

The EDP congratulates all winners and thanks all participants for their cooperation.
