Gelato and MH+P Technology will join forces at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025, Europe’s leading trade show for large format graphics and apparel printing. The organizations will highlight how software and automation are transforming print production.
From May 6–9 at Messe Berlin, visitors can find the two companies at Hall 25, Booth B05, where they will showcase the combined power of GelatoConnect, Gelato’s end-to-end operating system for print producers, and MH+P’s advanced automation hardware for canvas and poster production. MH+P will be launching its ST-Flow Tandem solution, the innovative canvas stretching solution, and the MH+P PosterRoller, finally a module that makes short work of crucial rolling processes.
FESPA is expected to attract more than 16,000 visitors from over 120 countries, with 550+ global exhibitors representing the forefront of digital, textile, screen, and industrial printing. Key themes for 2025 include automation, smart factories, and sustainability—making it the ideal venue to explore how software and machines working in sync can drive efficiency, profitability, and scale.

MH+P Technology complements this software-led approach with more than 35 years of production experience and industry-leading automation systems for canvas stretching and frame assembly. MH+P machines are fast, flexible and efficient – meeting the evolving demands of modern print production, from individual personalized orders to bulk production runs.
