Weickenmeier is no longer available for the tasks of the drupa president as a result of the strategic reorientation of the paper segment of Koerber AG and, therefore, resigned his office. Weickenmeier (56) had been the head of the executive committee of drupa since the last trade fair in 2008.
The next drupa global trade fair for print and paper will take place in Düsseldorf from 3 to 16 May 2012.
