CoCoCo shines pink at drupa 2024: a milestone event for us

Our very first trade show as a brand-new company, and it’s drupa 2024 in Düsseldorf. No pressure. For CoCoCo, it was a huge moment. As the world’s largest trade fair for printing technology, drupa gave us the perfect stage to introduce ourselves and show the industry what the CoCoCo Platform can do.

Our first vendor-driven integration

We didn’t arrive empty-handed. drupa was where our first vendor-driven integration, with finishing specialist MBO, had its premiere, on our stand in Hall 7.

It was built to connect MBO’s Datamanager and finishing equipment to existing print setups, so print shops could use Datamanager insights to cut waste and raise productivity.

Building connections

One of the best parts of drupa was the chance to strengthen existing partnerships and start new ones. We spoke with potential partners, future customers and curious colleagues from across the industry. The more people we spoke to, the more convinced we became that we’re solving a real, fundamental need.

Again and again, we heard the same thing. Customers and partners want an open integration platform that keeps integration effort to a minimum and acts as the foundation for any automation. Data is stuck in silos, and closed, proprietary integrations are holding print businesses back. People want direct, easy access to their own data, whoever made the machine or software.

That’s exactly what CoCoCo is built for, and we’re here to stay.

Those partners and customers are at the heart of how we’ll grow. We’re looking forward to the projects and collaborations ahead, and to swapping the ideas and expertise that move us all forward.

A massive thank you

A massive thank you to everyone who visited our stand, took the time to learn about the platform and talked shop with us. Your interest means a lot.

To our customers: thank you for trusting us, it pushes us to do our best work. To our partners: we’re looking forward to building great things together.

What’s next for CoCoCo

What we learned at drupa will shape what we build next. We’re taking the feedback and ideas from the show straight into our platform and services, with one clear goal: to make print integration simple, open and accessible for every print business.

Our first drupa was a big milestone in CoCoCo’s early days. The relationships we built and the support we received have given us a strong foundation, and we can’t wait for what comes next. Thank you for being part of it.
